Later model SC400 didn't come with the front lip, I think that was just on the 92-94 cars.

Last week the Dutch Youngtimer Magazine published the story of my '96 SC400. I'm very happy to mention the article spreads over 6 pages including lots of pictures.









I'm still a very proud owner and enjoying every mile in my SC!

Beautiful!!

Can't be a good clean original car.

Absolutely.

Theres really very little that can be done to improve the look.

All the body kit modified examples I've seen have lost the clean original look, and if anything it devalues them.


Only odd bit of this car is the poor front number plate placement, blocking a good third if the front radiator intake!

indeed a rare car in our country Smarter
your car is really like new and i can't wait to see it for real soon i hope , that interieur is mint !

but they were officially sold in The Netherlands because i have the first SC delivered in Holland through the official Lexus dealership , a total of 20 were sold in Canadian spec because we share the same metric system with KM and Celsius

According to the vin and build sheet, my 96 SC 400 came with the front lip and spoiler but it lost the lip do to a nose job in a later front collision repair in Pittsburgh Pa.. BTW very nice car! 1 of appx 1572 made.

That's really cool to see your SC in a magazine like that. I wish mine was that clean.
