You can’t see the missing exhaust on the right side which initially gave it away. Wasn’t too hard to work out after a second glance.

Registered as a weedy 2.0 petrol... oh dear. Makes you wonder what sort of tt decides to badge their car up like that doesn't it!

DVLA have it as 3,199cc. So we know it's the unusual straight six V8.

Ford Kuga 190X ST 4X4 Type R.

I just can't understand the mindset of anyone who would go out and buy all these extra badges, then spend time sticking them all on and then taking a step back and thinking 'yes. That looks good.'

Mobility car no doubt

Off Topic - is that a badge from an original Mini Clubman or did BMW fit facsimile badges to some later cars?
