does anyone know what this backdrop is ...ie where this photo was taken?
This ad happens to be with a dealer in Ilford

But a number of cars at a dealer in Slough all had this same background as well, including a car that i was interested in..this one (the ebay ad now says Peterborough)
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326102603661?mkcid=16&a...

So the exact same car has been for sale in two places in the last week, using the same pics
A search on Tineye of the main image shown in the ad revealed the exact same picture was used in an ebay advert on 4th September 2022. That pic (which was of the car front) is not shown of this ebay ad
The address of the "dealer" was a small terraced house in Slough so my spidey senses wondered if it was some sort of scam

ah thanks for BCA info. Still seems a bit weird why a dealer would be using pics that were used in 2022 to advertise a car. Surely its not been on their forecourt since then !?!
Also the same car (Lexus) for sale in two locations/dealers in the same week seems weird - Slough and Peterborough
