Uh ?

That is going to make some lucky young chap in Bradford/ Birmingham the envy of his mates for about 3 days. Truly the definition of 'sik, innit'.

After a very short period of use on real British (mainly city-centre, Fri/ Sat night) roads, it'll have knackered bodywork and crusty wheels amongst various other issues conspiring to make it look generally tatty.

No doubt it already has its own Barryboys thread, which will be updated regularly and enthusiastically as it steadily decays on the street outside the misguided young lads' (parents') home.

Puts me in mind of that green monstrosity (mk2 MR2 or 200SX I believe) with Gen7 Celica headlights, hydraulic suspension and yellow graphics that seems to have been around since Max Powers' heyday.

This approach to modification/ customisation (replacement of every panel, all exterior lighting etc) where the brand/ model of the original car becomes virtually impossible to identify barring perhaps a window/ roofline baffles me more than any other. What could the creator of such an abomination possibly have hoped to achieve?

[All that jazz]

Is it just me or is it a toy-scale car in the pics? Engine bay looks real enough though.

[marmitemania]

It looks as if it maybe a scrap metal merchant that has that Merc monstrosity for sale. Look at the other item he has for sale. Do you like dags!!

What has been seen .... , etc

Also "Also comes with the private number plate: SUP312 B (SUPER B)". Even with bodging that plate doesn't read SUPER B

Oh my fu@king god. What kind of drugs are some people on? Receipts for £12000, cat d. Just imagine how much of a knob you would look driving around in that. Why are people so desperate to have an Audi? I'm sure even when this was built you could have picked up an A5 for £12000, maybe a leggy slightly careworn one but even that would be preferable to this abomination.

That's actually a quite astonishing waste of effort, just to ape a fairly mundane car.

Reminds me in a way of those people who build incredible sand sculptures on the beach just to see them get washed away after a few hours.

I'm actually crying with laughter, but the thought that someone could burn so much money producing such a monstrosity is actually quite sad. He's either rich enough that he can literally piss thousands away and it not matter, or he's spent his savings on producing a dogs breakfast and has now ran out of money.

Dear fking lord.....what the hell is that monstrosity.............

Looks like a collision between Supra and Mustang - needs more rear lights

[Strawman]

If it's true and that was built by Ford and is "number 2 out of 10 made, only black one" in the that specification then £15k is probably reasonable, there is a strong Ford fanbase who are willing to pay good money for old cars.

Not really. It looks original, although not sure on the wheels. A rare RS will go for serious money, even if it is hideous.

[kambites]

It's not made by Ford, is it? It's made by "Daganham Motors", whoever they are.

[s3fella]

It's not an official car, and that 'long black' cvh engine was 1800 originally. If you bored them to 1.9, they used shed loads of oil! And we're low revving too, and made about 130hp only.
