Mmmmmmmmmmm :D
I was looking at one on the weekend. I've been a fan for quite some time, but this particular example really got my attention. It was a slightly off white pearl colour and a pearly kind of gold two tone. Factory paint. Some 15 inch black rims with a silver edge, beautiful leather seats, 5 speed manual, immaculate condition. Lucky someone had put a deposit down the day before or I would have really considered trading the S13 :P I have a huge fascination with "obscure" kind of Japanese sedans, and Laurel's really do it for me.
Unfortuantely I didn't have the camera with me so I don't have any pics :(

Laurels are pretty cool, but getting parts (especially panels) wouldn't be fun.

Sucks that pretty much all of them had brown interior

I have had a soft spot for these ever since having a ride in one in japan 5 years ago.

I was considering a laurel before I bought my celsior. they're a bit tight inside for me though (not enough head room) ,and I really was after a V8 for towing,so the UCF11 got the nod.

if you saw my car at the dyno night you may want to consider getting one of these if you're after a sedan. would depend on the sort of driving you want to do though... the celsior is a cruiser,not a drifter.

the yard I bought my car from will have several more in stock by Christmas I was told. they're starting to trickle in now,and being 95% the same as the local LS400,parts are quite easy to get,even if they're not cheap as chips.

Certainly was ;)

Justin, as much as I do like Celsior's, the Laurel just really does it for me :D Plus they are available in manual.

TMB - I believe the Club L's (lucury) had leather interior? I've seen a couple of Club L's all with leather, and the pics do as well. I believe it's the Club S (Sports) that ahs the brown interior? My car has brown interior anyway :P

I don't think I'll buy one, as tempting as it would be. Will see how I go when Autoshop get a few more in. Would need to be a turbo manual one for me to look at :D
