Here are a few LS's for sale. What I find interesting is the front bumper on the first gen, it’s an OEM bumper, and it looks good, but I wonder why it never made its way to the U.S.?

Additionally, you will find out they are one of the most FULLY loaded LS's out there, I'm talking Navi, heated seats, headlight washers, Air suspension, fender signal markers, etc.... (98-2000)

To get the price in US dollars, divide the number by 3.70.

Also, notice the interior/exterior color combo's, a bit different then we're usually used too. Theres also a 95 LS with a 98+ conversion.

I have absolutely fallen in love with this LS right here:

Then there is the front bumper lip. Do you have that?

and check out these rear lights.. smaller, to clear the wider license plate:

These are the so called "gcc specifications" short for Gulf Council Countries. that are sold in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. the reason that the rear lights are different is because unlike the US, all countries issue long (european) or short (japanese or US) style number plates at your will (at least in my country the UAE) so if a car with different taillights come in and a person get a long number plate then he'll have to bend it to get it to fit, and I think the japanese are much smarter that to let that happen.

all LS's are sold (full option) you dont get to choose any options as far as I know, they even come with a supercheap nokia charger (looks like a manual gearbox stick that comes from the passenger side) whether you like it or not.

TV/NAV was not offered till 2004 in GCC trim, the ones you see with it are imported from germany. Actually most of the cars on that site are german imports, the GCC ones do not have the front lip/foglights or the rear electric seats......etc.

still no other country get the same specifications as the japanese Celsior, European are close, but still not quite there (missing a few options).

I didn't notice any that showed the mileage!

Yeah, it says german imports on the website, because the navi was not avaliable till '04. Now, regarding the fogs/lip on the first gens, I have seen them in saudi on manyyy occasions.

btw, im a big fan of Grandizer Your SN just reminded me of the good ole days.

I thought those foglights were retrofits?

Grendizer is the more or the less Mazinger's brother, both made by the genius "Go Nagai"
