Similar enough....

I'm guessing it was for some sort of promotion (self?) but they must have already removed the graphics for whoever they are promoting before sale?
But why they would leave the stickers on is beyond me, it devalues the car by far more than the cost of removal.

The underlying colour looks OK though not what I'd have picked for one of these.

It comes with those stickers from the factory, it's a limited edition pikes peak edition of whatever it's called.

Those graphics are embarrassing. I assumed it was a wrap as part of some sort of promotion for something like trainers.

That's janky as hell, but the size of the turbo poking through the bonnet suggests that "power" might not be too much of a worry anymore.

This^^^

Looks like a holset hx35/40. And if it’s running decent boost 2 bar+, it wont be slow.

Turbo diesel Merc 600BHP 1000nM torque.

If it's even half as powerful as this it should be fairly quick.

This isn't a horror by any means...but I've never seen so many photos on a car listing. MR2 on AT.

is 100 the limit you can upload? why would you upload couple photos with the car? why would you mention your work history?

Bit of a strange ad as you say, the very last photo reminds me of the lad spread on his aunt's Bentley bonnet. If he wanted a BMW convertible why pester your friend for it, when you can buy one elsewhere.

Couldn't decide if that is a trophy wife or not...

Lurch with his mail-order bride is probably not the best way to start the photo roll for your car advert.

I can't decide if one is a midget or the other is freakishly tall.

That was my first thought too….

That’s a bizarre advert / set of pictures.

Saw that in Wakefield the other day....Trust me when I say, seeing it in the flesh is worse.
