Just looking at this Ad & was trying to work out why the car appeared to have a crease down the centre of it ?

Picture... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/largepic.asp?i=30...

From advert.... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3081755.htm

Are my eyes deceiving me, or is that a picture of a picture smile ?

That is very odd.

Looks like a pic of a magazine page to me.

I suspect the owner had some printed pictures of the car but not in a digital form, and just took a digital photo of the images.

Which does beg the question why this was easier than taking new photos of the car itself.

I reckon the owner has managed to catch ghosts on film or "orbs" as they're known in the ghostbusting circles, email him and tell him to contact "The Sun" as they'll run a story yes..

Or his car has appeared in a magazine and he just took pictures of the Magazine instead?.

'Forklifts Weekly' ?

Definitley a magazine picture. Maybe the seller feels the car is more credible because it's been featured in a mag?

Could be a ford magazine in a "send us a picture of you car" feature, could have chosen a better background though but they obviously printed it!.

Definitely an up to date photo.

Obviously not showing the car in its best years and former glory.

Still not very good photos for an advert though
