This is it, the world famous General Lee(xus) is available for you to buy!
Model: Lexus LS 400 (first of the facelift models)
Year: 1993
Mileage: 140,000 ish
Tax: None
MOT: None
Location: Huntingdon
Featured in places as diverse as Jalopnik (http://jalopnik.com/5669834/the-general-leexus) and Lexus' very own site (http://blog.lexus.co.uk/2011/06/lexus-meets-dukes-of-hazzard-with-phil-huffs-ls-400-general-leexus/#.U8QFyPldWqE), the General Lee(xus) has participated in countless rallies around Europe, completing all of them without missing a beat. It's been absolutely 100% reliable but, following spending ALL THE MONEY on a massive trip across the States, we've decided we won't be doing any more european events and so the General will be leaving us.
Good bits:
Bomb proof. Probably.
Still wafts along as well as pretty much anything on the road today
Is painted hemi-orange
Has a Confederate flag on the roof
Comes with dixie horns ready to install
Returns 26-27mpg when travelling across Europe
Very nearly new set of Continental SportContact 3 tyres worth £600 or so
Climate control blows cold
Ready for any of the myriad banger rallies
Has a whacking great big 4.0-litre V8
Makes a discrete 'wuffle' noise when you bury your foot in the carpet
Windows are big enough to climb in and out of
Bad bits:
Fuel gauge doesn't work at all, so just remember to fill up every 300 miles or so
01 sticker on one side is looking very tired
Actually, the whole car is looking a bit tired. This was a 10-foot paint job four years ago.
No MOT on there now, but it should pass without a problem. Last MOT had two advisories: Front exhaust has a minor leak of exhaust gases (7.1.2) and front brake pipe slightly corroded (3.6.B.2c).
Subject to getting your paperwork in order, this is perfectly drivable and will get you home without a problem. However, it's also worth far more than £500 in spares, so if you're heartless you could trailer it off and break it. Just don't tell me.
£500, which is completely non-negotiable. It's the General Lee(xus), for goodness sake!
