    3 more ISFs have gone from the dvla database there are now only 220 left 216 taxed and 4 sorned! Interestingly there are 150 RCFs already!! It wont be long before there are more RCFs than ISFs!!

    When did the ISF change to daytime running lights?I am asking because there is an ISF for sale on autotrader which was registered with the DVLA in March 2011 which has them?It says the car was stolen, so i was thinking maybe it had some front end damage so then they repaced the original lights set up with the newer version is this possible to do?I may be wrong but i thought DRLights came with the 012 model?I would imagine to change the old lights would be VERY expensive?

    Hi welcome to a very exclusive owners club.I have owned my isf for 18 months now and being a 60 year old have owned many many cars and the ISF is the best car bar none i have ever owned!! I have thought about mods such as the H and S exhaust but have decided to keep mine completely original as i feel this will hold its price better?But dont let that stop you modifying yours!!

    There were only 12000 isfs made about 8000 were sold in the USA.That only meant that about 4000 were sold in the rest of the world.So they are spread very thinly.Taking in write offs etc theres probably only about 10000 or so left?
  12. alter ego
    There are currently 342 IS 250 SE-Ls and 3300 IS 250SE-L AUTOS

    There are now only 224 ISFs on the DVLA records. This is down 5 from the last quarter resuls in 2014. At this rate there will be less than 200 this time next year?So hopefully it wont be long before the "BEAST" becomes a bona -fida CLASSIC!!

    I've paid into a lexus service plan since june2014 which costs £36 a month.I've just had the 60000mile service done which would have cost me £800 pounds!!So 12x36pounds is err over 400 pounds so definetely cheaper in the long run.Yes it is for 3 years but you hardly notice a tenner a week?This covers all my services due in the 3 years.

    My gps speedometer was indicating 143MPH but my isf car speed said 150MPH.Obviously this was recorded on a stretch of the Autobahn recently!! So it looks as though your isf speedos are it liitle bit fast which isn't a bad thing.Having the gps speedo is great because now i can travel a bit faster as its dead accurate.Does anyone else have a gps speedo?I bought mine fromWWW.DIGITAL SPEEDOS.CO.UK as advertised in Classic & Sportscar magazine June 2015 issue.

    Hi Stu there is quite a lot of info online about this product some good some bad.I forgot to mention that it also picks up unmarked police cars also.There is a company near me that sell and fit Target Blue Eye i have visited them.They usually fit these devices to lambos ferraris mercs etc but were dead impressed with my ISF and said fitting would be no problem.
  19. alter ego
    Has anyone had one of these fitted yet?For anyone who doesn't know what this is it's a device which warns you of any emergency vehicles within 1000 metres of you and it picks up there radio signals.I know someone who owns a merc amg c63 and he says its the best £1000 pounds he has spent on his car and has stopped him from losing his licence!I realise this is a "hot potato" because some will say you shouldn't be driving at silly speeds anyway?I wonder what other members think?

GO READ!!!
