Am I missing something?

Reflection of the VW I guess.

[Garlick]

Golf reflection I reckon

for 135k i would like some more tempting pictures rather than some taken in a yard. Looks like a pikeys car with that background

At least someone else is put off by the incongruous setting. Is there really no better way of showing off that £135k car that by showing the sad reflection of a bastardised royal blue gold caddy in it's flanks?

[Garlick]

Agreed, i wouldn't buy it either at least not from that pic

Are you in the market for one out of interest?

Alas not. I can only tip my hat to the vision of the BMW/RR designers behind this car. They've created a vehicle worthy of the marque. The 'road presence' is unique and matched only by big old bentleys and rollers of yesteryear. Stonking. I'd have one tomorrow. All that stands in the way of me and that car (not that one though) is 16 years worth of very expensive children's education!

[Garlick]

Completely agree, wonderful cars.

You should join us at the next PH Sunday Service which is being held at the RR HQ. Dates to be annonced but we'll release it next week.

Now I'm up for that. I'll bet it's when I'm on my hols though! That part of the world is basically my favourite. Anyone going there should pay a visit to this place. http://www.wealddown.co.uk/ Top notch.

I think this advert is worse, http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1751724.htm £162,500, 10 words.

Those pictures look like they might have been taken by a car detailer - Cables running round the back of the car (For polisher?), bottles next to the white wheels in one of the pics, high intensity lighting for showing swirled paint, as well as a number of very 'different' cars and a slightly grotty/industrial setting.

Can't really see the problem tbh, the pictures were probably taken by the detailer, then used in the advert by the seller as they showed the car at it's best. The advert seems to have the right information about the car in it too, imo.

We rather enjoyed 'our' Phantom http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=52&i=2174...

I missed that first time round! Fun stuff. Although you look strangely happy to be filling up the Phantom, would have thought that would have been rather depressing!

bastardised? One with a body kit fixed on with zip-ties, yes, but one with 225hp and subtle body modifications? No.

And FYI, while the pictures may not be the best for a car sale, they are there because the car just came out of a full detail on the bodywork, so those pictures are there to show the condition of the paintwork. All detailers do it.

thanks mate

your spot on, the pics were taken by me as i was working on the car, hence it being an industrial setting and having other cars in the reflections,


p.s

the st blue caddy would more than likely leave most cars for dust on a track it's running a tuned audi TT engine been fully rebuilt and is now sporting a porsche interior

Foregtting everything, who buys a used 135k Phantom privately???
