Hi All

just had rear windbreaker installed, easy to use, looks good, now for some good weather and the English countryside, when the bistros are open.

cheers

Thanks for all the replies, perhaps the car should go back, just something we could do without during the lockdown.

Hi Guys

yes my lc 500 arrived December, from watching the original videos and American advertisements I initially opted for White body and a Navy Blue Roof as documented, but on ordering the vehicle only a Black Roof was available and/or a beige colour.

still the car is a great good looking machine that will be a future classic.

keep safe and be happy

Steve

Thanks for the heads up, can you name the lubricant you use?

cheers

Hi

  we are still involved in the Building trade, but take no active part in the running of our company.

   I can’t say definitely that the Lc500 convertible needs a bigger windbreak, but I had fitted in both of my last XK Convertibles a windbreak similar to the one you are showing and found them great and will fit one in my new car as soon as I can find one. Lexus Preston are quoting £1000 plus at the moment  but normally can be purchased from Accessory dealers in the region of £250.

  Sounds like you are going to be busy, I just want to get away to our place in Spain and get back to lunching out in country pubs with the roof down of course, when the lockdown permits.

cheers

Has any owners had problems with the petrol cap sticking? I have now passed on my 500 Coupe (replaced it with convertible) to a family member who has now experienced the problem. The cap did stick when I first bought the vehicle but cleared it with WD40, not a good example for this very expensive car.

cheers

Hi

The convertible was only my second Lexus, I had the coupe for 12 months when I ordered the convertible. My last 3 cars have been Xks, and Mercedes  SLC ‘s prior to that. As I have said I was more than happy with the jag XK Until it was decommissioned.

Although the Pandemic has seriously impacted our business, we are coping.

My wife and I are now senior citizens and we can’t wait to go on our usual outings around Lancashire with the top down. I just feel that the car needs a bigger windbreak that doesn’t seem to be available at the moment, and due to the newness of the car other manufacturers haven’t brought any out.

keep safe

cheers Steve

Yes seen a lot of the videos and had the top down on the new convertible to check it out, love it.

i don’t think you can fault the car technically, I must say I really enjoyed my Jaguar XK coupe and the convertibles and do think Jaguar made a backward step with the introduction of the F type.

I am sure that the Lexus convertible will be the market leader as there is not much out there to contest it, and will certainly keep me happy for a couple of years, if we ever get back on the road and the Pandemic is over.

cheers

     Hi

        About August last year, as soon as they officially launched, I had a lc 500 coupe but always wanted a convertible. I have had 3 jag xk convertibles in the past but the Ftype replacement was too small for me. The Lc 500 is a very very good replacement and the new Lc 500 convertible roof works like a dream.

      I haven’t been able to enjoy the car yet, but hopefully by Spring the lockdown may be relaxed and my wife and I can do some roof down motoring.

        I was the first person at Vantage Preston, to order the LC 500 coupe and the first person to order the convertible.

now trying to locate a windscreen/windbreak accessory but can’t locate one.

Has anyone located a removable accessory wind screen, I have seen it in the videos but can't find any for sale.

cheers Steve

I have had the car since Dec 20 and all good so far.
