Does everyone that has a VIN number have a K as 11th character meaning as I understand it that the LC was built in the Hino Motors plant in Hamura - not had a Toyota but other folk seem to get excited about the Tahara factory that seems to have the top reputation for quality

As long as it is well made and the Quality Control is to Toyota standards it will be ok I’m sure

Sad admission - I watched that YouTube with the guy doing a factory visit - I have been to a few car factories in different countries inc super car places in Italy - the Tahara was impressive but they didn’t show the other places to offer a comparison - long way from the smoking area in the Maserati factory

I was quoted today £1592.88 inc *£972.00 labour for a tow bar complete !!!!! from my Dealer this is getting out of hand so I called Toyota UK to as what comes with these cars as I have paid for my LC in full yesterday

That’s ridiculous, you could have a towbar specialist fit one for a fraction of that.
I previously mentioned that my dealer thought it might be £1500 initially but agreed to do it for £800 and that options list posted showed an even lower price.
To be fair, the dealers aren’t being told anything by Toyota so it’s all guesswork.
