what's the typical service schedule/costs on a Lexus?

an can any Toyota dealer service them?
The Lexus V8 is the same as the Toyota one, but there are no V8 Toyota's in the UK range, so they'll probably complain they can't do it as "computer says no" ..

I think it's 10k miles for the service. Cheaper than an S class/A8/7 series.

Damn!!

I was desperately trying to think of what was missing, when was floundering with Bitters. Like Nrrrggggh!

The Bristols have sooooooooooooooooooooooo much class, they cannot be included with the other upstarts on the list.

Since it can be upgraded at the factory, it's a car for life.

Volvo S80? Possibly a bit downmarket, but probably good enough for Pete's minicabs

I like the fighter; there's some very good aerodynamic work going on there. The turbocharger's optional, but at Bristol, so's anything within reason...

I'd have thought a Chrysler 300 with Bentley badges would be right up your street
