Crikey that's interesting. Rome is already on my bucket list. Amazingly haven't been there despite spending so much time in the country. Ill go looking 🤩 The facelift ones have two exhaust tips in total. One on each side. If there were any more than two on there then they must have modded those as well 🤐

Had a look at the museum from dutchie01's link he provided. It looks like a great day out, especially if there's an LS400 in there. Must have been fun getting a 460 over in the Netherlands. How was the experience? What condition are they in over there in general. I've seen frequently in the UK that some people are buying them for cheap easy power and so some are getting a but neglected sadly which is terrible.

Absolutely brilliant 🤩. Just the other day I was at BP in London and got approached by a Lebanese man calling me "boss" and complimenting the car, wanting to look at it. He told me about his late Father's Merc in Lebanon that the family still keeps locked away. I think he said it was an old E class. Even at Newland's Corner I was approached by a couple of young JDM fanatics who complimented the car and asked me loads of questions about it. Can't go anywhere really 😉 My Dad actually has a gold 430 but it's enjoyed occasionally, rest of the time pampered in the garage. 20 yrs later it still smells like the day we got it. I've always known about the huge love for the LS and Lexus in general in the Middle East and an ophthalmologist from somewhere over there actually told me at an appointment that oftentimes, Lexus are inherited and left as legacies in the family over in UAE. Love the F16 nickname, the engines in these are so utterly brilliant that you just don't realise the speed that you've got to. Best feeling in the world.

Was it a facelift or pre facelift that you used to see? The one in Milan sounds terrible 😅. I'd figured that the greatest chance of ever seeing one in Italy is probably in a rich city somewhere like Milan Venice etc..... Talking of which we may be driving the Lexus down to Italy around Easter time so if I keep my fingers crossed I may bump into one somewhere this time round 🤞

So I was wondering if anyone has got up close to an LS430 anywhere in Europe? The reason that I am curious is because I've lived on and off in Italy since childhood and done lots of European driving since getting my license 5 years back. In all that time I'm lucky enough to spot an LS430 in the UK for a start, however I have never ever seen one on European soil. Looking at car ads in Italy and some other EU countries they do seem to be out there but in even smaller numbers than over here. Often when I'm abroad I'll see an old barge a few cars ahead and almost think it might be my lucky sighting but it turns out to be an old E class Merc or something like that when I get up close. So has anyone seen any when on their travels abroad? Or any LS series for that matter? Even better do you have pics?

Merry Christmas everyone. Amazingly one popped up on Ebay, located somewhere in the UK and £5 shipping. £35 altogether and arrived couple weeks before estimated delivery date. Arrived and fitted yesterday afternoon. So a happy ending overall and a nice little Christmas present for Lexi 😘 Thanks to everyone for helping with this and making recommendations.

Hi guys, The hub cap came off my front driver's side wheel. Struggling to find a genuine replacement without spending £60 on Etsy for a set of four non genuine ones. I'd do that however want to hold off getting brand new sparkly ones until I have the wheels refurbished. Anyone have just the one hub cap going spare? Cheers!
