So as luck would have it, after months of looking to try and see a car in the flesh, a yellow limited edition LC with only 4k miles on it appeared in a not too far away car dealer here in NI.  I called the garage and immediately went to see the car in the flesh as it were.

I did not consider yellow as an option but after seeing it and the matching interior door panels I actually am growing to like it ... I think.  Maybe it is just the car's presence that I was taken by.  It is a lot larger in real life and beautifully proportioned.  The interior really is very special and images do not do it justice at all.

Can I ask what the differences or extras are on a limited edition other than the different colour seats and matching door panels?

Jgtcracer, that is good to have been confirmed, I figured it would make sense in both ways.  My issue is that locally to me there are very few options.  The best I can guarantee is E5.  I think either Esso or BP still offer premium with no Ethanol but I am not sure which still do.

Congrats, I am fairly certain that I will join the club very soon as well, just need to Iron out a few points.  Simon, what did you buy?

Some other questions to daily drivers of the LC500 ...

1. Do you owners use regular Petrol with Ethanol and does that lower power, or, do you opt for Premium Fuel?

2. Earlier models do not have android auto or apple play but will the phone work via Bluetooth for calls and possibly passing music through?

IronLizard, thanks for that.  I know it probably sounds like a stupid question to ask but without actually seeing a car it is very hard to actually know. One of the main reasons I was looking at the S560 instead was because of the larger rear seats.  I think it will work well enough for the kids.

Long time admirer but after looking over a few Mercedes S560 Coupe I am now considering the LC as a real alternative, however I have never seen an LC 500 in the flesh and there are none local (Northern Ireland) that I can go and see.  Does any LC 500 owners on here come from Northern Ireland and would you be prepared to allow me to actually look around one?

One other very important question.  I know it is really a two seater but ... would it be considered possible to take two teenage kids for the morning school run, one front passenger and one rear passenger?  That has to be possible now or I will have to wait a few more years.

After everything I have read and watched, I really want to own and use this car instead of the usual fast German lineup.
