Lexus stockyard - qxman {p}
I frequently travel into Leicester along the A47, on the west side of the city. I've noticed that there is a small industrial estate with a fenced concrete area which is full of Lexus cars. These are brand new cars and still have the factory protective sheeting on them. Interesting though, that they are all fitted with registration plates - a mixture of '08 and '57 regs. They haven't moved in weeks so can't be cars that are awaiting delivery. I can probably see 40 cars, but there could well be more. I wonder if these are all 'pre-reg' cars to be released to local dealers at a big discount over the coming months?

I suppose the 57's are to make a target and the 08's are to....not sure.

Maybe they're models that aren't selling very well. I thought cars like Lexus were pretty well made to order.
