In Calgary AB, a Nurburgring edition will be arriving in August, which was purchased by the dealership owner and he will be displaying his Nurburgring edition in the dealership as well.

Correct. Mr. Chia of Open Road Group and Mr. Pattison both have series of vehicle collections. There was no surprise that they both added LFA to their list.

A newly arrived Blue/cream-white LFA has just been delivered at Regency Lexus in Vancouver and that cream/white interior is just fantastic.

Looks like the 4 LFAs that were supposedly bound for BC have all been delivered. Two red, 1 white, 1 blue.

For some reason I thought there were five LFAs sold to Vancouver/BC area? Did one backed out there as well? It looks more and more like half of the LFAs in Canada and US were bought by by dealer owners.

The salesperson I spoke with here in Calgary claimed the white Nurburgring edition LFA was ordered by the dealership owner himself from the get-go. I am not sure how true is that
DId you ever meet that person who ordered the LFA in Calgary? Do you know anything about him?
It is still a mystery considering the sale process was closed so quickly on lexus.ca in about 2 months after they went on sale as Lexus.ca claimed they had to hold a draw to pick the 10 buyers as the demand was for 30 - 35 LFAs.

here is a link to someone who photographed the LFA while it was taken delivery. The details are in Chinese but hopefully you can see the pictures in this link.

Thanks for posting the pictures. It looks indeed spectacular. Wish I could read all the details in Chinese.
Do you know by any chance if this LFA is going to be delivered to a customer?? The article translation indicates that Lexus was keeping the owner confidential so it did not confirm whether it is sold or not.

there is a matador ?? red LFA dispalyed at the Pohanka Lexus Dealer in Chantilly VA. It's surrounded by ropes with don't touch signs. Also " don't ask to open". I need to go back and take some pictures. The LFA is an awesome vehicle. The pictures in this thread are amazing - thank you!

I was going by what I could recall, if my memory serves me right. It could very well be 5 - 6 LFAs going to BC.
The salesperson I spoke with here in Calgary claimed the white Nurburgring edition LFA was ordered by the dealership owner himself from the get-go. I am not sure how true is that
DId you ever meet that person who ordered the LFA in Calgary? Do you know anything about him?

Anyways, I've heard two buyers were not sure about their allocations. They were both from the west. The one from AB did back out, and someone else took his.
All ten LFAs were 'sold' very quicky, but I guess most of the names in the draw were Lexus dealer owners.
