Took a couple of shots of this local car last year. I had a chat with the owner then and gave him my number, got a call from him today as he's now looking to sell it. It wasn't raining and what else better could I do than go for a quick viewing on a Tuesday lunchtime?
Very interesting to take it out for a drive and compare it with my Mk3. This later one definitely feels livelier with its more powerful engine (gearbox maybe revised too?). Ride surprised me by feeling firmer, despite the fact mine wears 18" wheels and low profile tyres compared to 16's on this one.
With MoT until Nov 2015, four new tyres, new battery and various other things done it offers very, very good value for what he's offered it at to me. Trouble is, with the purchase of another Datsun and an MoT due on my current LS400 I'm not sure taking on another one would be very wise...
I've got a little bit of time to think about it, we'll see what works out.
I suspect the lack of a diesel would have limited sales of the RX back when it was new, and these aren’t a hybrid either.
It's always nice to see older cars on foreign plates, this seems to actually be from the UK unlike most of the cars I see with British plates, as it's RHD and the tax only expired earlier this year, so it's probably being used for a big road trip.
After a year of sporadic building, I've finally finished my scale model of the Lexus LFA. The LFA is one of my top five favorite cars, along with the Enzo Ferrari and Pagani Zonda, which I have also built in LEGO. The design is understated compared to most exotics, but still very striking at the same time in my opinion.
Overall, this was a very fun car to build. It took me a while to produce a front end that I was satisfied with; although I am still not entirely happy with the exposed studs above the headlights (LEGO needs to make wedge tiles!).
My favorite part is probably the rear half. I'm quite pleased with the way the side air intakes above the rear wheels turned out, as well as how smoothly the rear spoiler fits when retracted.
Thanks for visiting, and I hope my next car doesn't take an entire year to build!
When i first took these 2 photos i didn't really check out any information on this particular model but now that i did i found out that it was a major flop (Like the CT200H here in Portugal) in the United States having production ceased in 2012 after selling just 649 cars. Registered in 2012.
To my shame I don't know what model, or whether it's the standard V6 or a hybrid. Easy to see the progression in styling to my 3rd generation RX.
