The second generation Cesior is all UCF20 and 21. The difference is not based on the model year, it's based on the suspension. 1995-2000 without air suspension is UCF20 and those with air suspension is UCF21.
I bought a UCF20 Celsior last year with wool seats. It's the base model so no touch screen, thankfully. Even still the display on the stereo doesn't work. The CD changer is in the upper glove box. The best part about the wool seats is that they aren't hot to sit in in the summer and they aren't cold in the winter. Plus they are very soft and comfortable.
One plus of the 95-97 Celsior over the later models is that the headlights covers are glass instead of plastic to they still look great after 27 years.
The C F Package like mine (previous celsior on channel), nice pick here ! Mine is on the end to be road legal for France, waiting the papers !
Hey! Awesome! Thinking about importing one myself, did you need to change anything on the car i.e headlights, additional foglight or any other hurdles to get it road legal in mainland Europe? Also if you don´t mind sharing, how much did it cost all inclusive?
@@power3244 15k total(with repair), headlights are ok in France, it only needed a rear fog light
@@Darktooth_ Hmm interesting, I thought that the lenses on the headlights would be so different (between RHD and LHD) that it wouldn't be allowed in the EU without replacing. But maybe some adjustment was all it needed at the inspection?
Would you be so kind to share a rough price breakdown? I guess the Spec C F package commands a premium, but 15k is out of reach for me thus far.
Thank you for your help, much appreciated!
The Celsior was never offered in AWD only ever RWD once they changed over to the Lexus branding in Japan they introduced the AWD but only with the CVT transmission in the LS600
Crowns had awd models tho
@@Chalado-Schamane okay but I never mentioned the crown
seats, controls, baggage compartment and some other stuff looks identical to to a 2004 Century i had - so its kinda like LS400 with Century paint and interior
The chasis plate is located near the engine which has color code & other information
love my Celsior, was previously on this channel as well
one more year and this will be legal in the usa
Thank you for including the cardboard sleds. I got my cloth seats in my first gen LS from a junkyard. They'd been there for 10 months with a window busted so unfortunately the upper portion is faded but not stained noticably. I could've gotten the seats before it was junked long story but still was a good upgrade from my dingy ripped leather seats.
The wool interior 🔥🤩..
Amazing condition and LOVE the wool seats
When will the 98 model be legal to ship to the US? I'm assuming mid year this year?
One day I hope to sit in some of those fancy seats that they only make in japan.
Clean vehicle
That's amazing but my wife would kill me if i bought something like that as she is highly allergic to wool LOL
Why were woolen seats more desirable in Japanese culture? Not just because they had the same properties as sheepskin covers ( same origin), but , more importantly, for the Japanese, they’re not loud, when scooching around on them, to the point of being vulgar.
That's the reason why the Century was rarely specced with leather. Wool makes sense for a Century.. .not so much for the Crown that was also available with standard polyester cloth interiors. I'm still confused why they made it a thing on the car.
how much did this vehicle sell for? absolutely gorgeous
That information is always private. But you can look at Japanese auction sites to see what cars usually sell for to get an idea
About 300000 to 400000 Japanese yen just a an estimate & ofcourse there are fees & taxes u have to pay.
👍😎
LS400
This car seat seems to me cheap.
You do know this would have more equipment than an LS?
I don't think that the USDM one came with wool seats. I think it was just standard synthetic. The reason why the wool is so special to me is because it's expensive to manufacture but not an easy sell over the much cheaper synthetic seat fabric. It's really interesting that Toyota wanted to add this feature and it's really quite rare. I suspect that it was only ever done because the Century also had it and there was some economies of scale to save costs.
@@PacificCoastAuto I have a quite rare UK '08 GS460 and mine has woollen seats. I think mine was a special order from factory. I've not seen it in any other Lexus GS
I wish I could import it to Iraq but my stupid government won't let me
If there's a will, there's always a way. Bribe a government official lol
@@Chalado-Schamane it doesn't work
Doesn’t look 3d anymore
Umm nahhh
