8 June 2001: A four-day exhibition at the end of next month will give motoring enthusiasts a chance to see the new Lexus SC430 coupe, which goes on sale here on 25 July.

The SC430 will cost £84,000 and will be powered by a 4.3-litre V8 engine. Features include runflat tyres, 18" alloy wheels and a premium sound system.

The coupe has a retractable hard-top roof and will come with eight exterior colours and a choice of three leather trims.

The exhibition, which will be held at the Toyota Centre in Ballsbridge in Dublin, will include concept designs, drawings and schematics of the car. TW
