My dad had a manual one of these in diamond black (I think that was the name) in about 1991, F reg’d so a year or two old.
He loved it, did circa 100000 miles in 2 years in it. 18 mpg was about all it would do though, although back then 100 mph cruising on the motorways was pretty normal.
We got nicked for speeding on the autobahn while towing our caravan, the car pulled like it was solo, it was superb. Didn’t seem to make it much worse on fuel either.

They aren’t as refined as a ls400. The wipers and front screen generate quite a bit of wind noise. Don’t get me wrong it’s a nice place to be, just not as nice as a Lexus.
True that. Dunno about the LS400, but the seats in my old E34 540 were a lot more comfortable than those in my LS430.
