I can see the advert in the OPC next week...

New facelift Cayenne, one owner from new and never taken off road...

A quick blast with a jet wash and they'll swear it's never seen the brown side of mud. Did you see the way these things were being thrashed around yesterday?

I went to a Toyota event a couple of years back which involved, among other things, a bunch of Corolla T-Sports, Celicas and MR2s being thrashed around Brands Hatch by a constant stream of punters, as well as an autotest in the paddock consisting of thrashing a bunch of Yaris T-Sports to within an inch of their lives in first gear and lots of handbrake turns around cones. I asked the guy there what happened to the cars afterwards and he said they were sold on as ex-demonstrators. yikes

The ex-Jonathan Palmer Experience ITR's were sold-on as "ex-Honda" cars about 5 years back...I know, I nearly bought one. A handful of red X-plate 'tegs...and I needed to dig hard to find out it was, it was only a couple of drilled holes and a square patch where a sticker had been that gave away it's history to START digging!
