When Lexus UK learnt about High's milestone and the way he was celebrating his 100th birthday, the carmaker decided to create a special one-off version of the LS 600h L just for him.

High has been a regular customer of Lexus Cheltenham over the past 16 years and has purchased 25 cars. Dean Cordell, Senior sales executive at Cheltenham Lexus told Gloucestershire Live, "He has been purchasing Lexus' cars for years. Lexus is aware of this and wanted to do this for him, and Barry took us up on the offer. Once it came off the production line it was made into something special for him - it's a real one-off. The day went very well indeed. The car was all under wraps and undercover when he arrived. There was a formal celebration and a toast of champagne - he was extremely pleased."

High will not be driving the car, but will be chauffeured along allowing him to enjoy the luxury on offer and the power from the 5.0-litre V8 engine and electric motor from the comfort of the rear seat.
