Some great spots there! The Red Ferarri looks like a 'replica' from here. Nice job though.

It did look genuine in person, however it was wearing 348 GT Competitzione badging whilst clearly not being one.

A few from the past couple of months in Swansea.
That is quite possibly the most vulgar display of wealth I've ever seen.

Has to be a Swansea City WAG.

Having studied images online, it appears to be very accurate except the rear wheels look a little 'inny' & the wipers go the wrong way. Awesome job either way. thumbup

It's a real one!

They do look under wheeled compared with a modern car, and 348s had proper RHD wipers.

The plate alone is worth more than a replica, if you put it into the DVLA website, it comes back as genuine.

Perhaps the same lady that had the pink Maserati in Cardiff?

VAG and BMW have ruined Bentley and RR. There was something traditionally British and tasteful about the cars (even if dodgy 70s comedians had an affinity for them) - I don't really know how to describe the modern output, but I find it far too 'shouty' and attention seeking.

Different people, that plate has been in Swansea for a few years, usually attached to a high ens SUV.

The only good thing about them is that they add their stickers and number plates to all their cars as a warning to other motorists that the one in that car doesn't have the faintest interest in cars or driving.
(If they did have the faintest interest, they'd have looked further afield than the big scrapyard of Neath, and realised you can buy a car in the same condition for a two thirds the price pretty much anywhere else. Or a much better car for the same money.)

Completely agree. But it's also a great place to take your girlfriend/mum/nan to try out loads of different cars in one place whilst being followed but a depressed looking salesman.

The Bentley must be brand new as I saw the plate on a RR Sport on the Link Road near Culverhouse Cross a few weeks ago.

I hope that's a wrap as unless they're planning to try and flog it to Katie Price they may struggle.
