There was a silver one sitting in the showroom of Newport Autosport a few years ago, I almost drove the 70 miles just to go see it in person.

Something strange here... Lexus Enthusiast reports that a Pearl Brown LFA was just delivered to Lexus of Escondido and the blog linked to some photos posted to a Facebook Gallery. The FB gallery is eight months old and some of the comments are from June 2011, but maybe they uploaded new photos to an old album? Was #95 sent to San Diego?

Nope. Are you certain that Escondido took delivery of it? Or are you just guessing because they posted pics of it without really putting any credit on the photos. Even TLE reported it here back in July:

This appears to be the more recent black amethyst. Last I heard Herb Chambers eventually kept his...

Thanks for the heads up

The link was NG

I replaced it with the search results link

I spoke with Foley and it was formerly Herb's car.

They priced it at $380K

The odd thing is, the salesman said Herb and sold the car and Foley purchased it from that owner. If that is true, the person took a double bath on depreciation and sales tax (maybe a triple bath as MA charges 2.5% annual excise tax)

Here is the video Foley posted on You Tube (funny how it states the vehicle has just over 0 miles)

Nice catch Spinout,

Kind of funny that Foley may have wholesaled the car to this Porsche dealer.

The spud I spoke with at Foley new nothing about the car in general except that they wanted $380K for it.

Kind of funny that they wouldn't even call folks back once they realized that number was pie in the sky.

The recent ad Foley had for the car didn't even have the colors correct.

Hopefully it will stay in the Midwest and get a nice gray paint job, converting it from fail to hail.
