It may well stand for Sport Coupe but the SC just isn't a sports car and it really wasn't meant to be one except perhaps in the US where they don't go round corners.

The suspension isn't sporty its comfortable and the car is a a long distance cruiser. Its not even a full time 'coupe' because it should be classed as a convertible.

So Sports Convertible would be closer.

I think Silent Convertible sums it up nicely and is the most accurate description.,

Maybe it's reference to the suspension.

Soft Cushion.

Oh dear!

Been feeling a bit guilty over stirring up this hornet's nest since my original post so thought I'd let you all know what I did about it in the end.

Booked to go to Lexus and get a new rear box etc. but before it could be fitted the trims dropped further and I had to get it fixed pronto. Went to Profusion Customs and had two Magnaflow tips fitted. The guys at Profusion were a great help and cut off the old tips (I've saved them in case I need them) and simply welded on the new ones - pics attached.

The rear box and pipework were otherwise in good nick so it'll be interested to see how long they last. Certainly saved me a few £100 quid!
