LEXUS GS 450 Uncommon

As of 2025 Q4, 2,267 LEXUS GS 450s remain registered in the UK — an increasingly uncommon sight on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 2,904 in 2017 Q2 — only 78% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 637 cars. They're disappearing at roughly 99 a year (4.4% of what's left), a pace that would halve the survivors by around 2040 if it held — though in practice the last, most-cherished examples tend to linger far longer.
