Don't see these come up very often, especially with factory miles but a £1m for an import?

Wow that is one of those adverts you have to read carefully to get to the truth…

1 of 10 of 230 of 500+ LFAs that were produced…

“Delivery miles” of 422km…

One of these would be at the top of my Euromillions garage list.

Never really got the love for the LFA. It looks like a shoe. Or at best, something you'd struggle to find in a car park.

It's all about the engine no?

What it's packaged in is not even secondary.

I agree with Junior D, except I'd go further, it's just ugly. It looks like a pimped Celica. Engine might be great but why not put it in a beautifully designed package, even the LC 500 would have made a better carrier.

I wouldn't call it ugly but they certainly aren't exciting to look at,as has been said already the engine deserves to be wrapped in something more exotic

looking,Always remember some years ago now pulling up in the pits at Goodwood as i was just passing by ,i could hear this wailing noise from the road so

knew something exciting was on the track , Not one but ten LFA's were there ,Lexus were having a corporate day at the track ,only five cars were allowed

on because of the high db level's but imagine five of them on the red line going down the pit straight ,infact you could hear the wail from the exhaust's in the

air even when they were over at St Mary's, Probably like most of us i've never driven or even been in one so can only go on what i've read and seen

on YT but i would find it very difficult to part with a million quid for a car that the looks leave me lukewarm and the gear change makes the Aventador feel

positively evolutionary,perhaps i'm missing something here confused

I know taste is a personal thing, so feel free to disagree.

For me I find Japanese cars well built, but lacking in beauty. Unlike say an Italian car, or even say that mechanical / technical beauty you get from a German car.

As others have said though, the engine sounds great. Going forward however, no eclectic car will ever have that sentence written about it.

The only time I've been near an LFA was chasing one round Dunsfold.

I didn't get that close but it did sound wonderful.
