I think you might get some rather quizzical looks in the work car park if you turned up in this. Also quite possibly a visit from your friendly local vigilante group!

I was thinking how much I liked that and wondered what you were on about until I got to the bonnet mural!!

I suppose you could get away with wrapping the bonnet at least? It's a lairy car anyway so a carbon bonnet wouldn't look out of place.

I was just having a chuckle at the image of the un-knowing next owner after they decide on whim to remove the carbon wrap, so he could drive his mum to church in an hour.

Good old Motorhub in Keighley! The pricing guy must be on LSD.

Really? Think £199.95 is about right.

Always wanted a hideous Gemballa Porsche to impress your friends, but can't afford one? Dont just buy a perfectly serviceable Boxster for 7 grand, they'll think you're a pauper with delusions of grandeur! Instead, invest in this tastefully executed reproduction. They'll NEVER know!

There's a lot to take in, but the best bit is "no nonces please".

Nonces must be at least 80% of the market for Chryslers in the UK?

I'm sorry but the person listing this motor vehicle must be smoking some excellent crack.

I like the subtle hints that "B" is for Brabus.
Maybe he thinks that if he says it enough SOMEBODY will believe him.

I actually enjoyed the advert if you look past the hyperbole. The seller is probably a straightforward person to deal with in a take-it-or-leave-it, sick-of-dealing-with-idiots way, and there's humour in the listing. Be reasonable with him and it'd probably go OK.

Off topic, but have you seen the prices of untouched 500SEC's? Last time i looked they were about £5k but they are now up about £20k. Of course the Keighley one looks a mess.... and of course its in "Keighley" so anyone in the know should give it a wide berth anyway.

Did they actually make parts for them, or is that just the effect of what he's smoking?

Yes, as 'Startech' at least in the UK.

I think they did use the Brabus brand on them in the USA

I’ve seen these with the ‘B’ thing on them, and in my ignorance assumed the owner/s was trying to pass them off as a Bentley (a brand I also dislike).

it is the Bentley B, and they are

someone somewhere got the idea that a Chrysler 300 looks like some imaginary Bentley, and it's taken off

the Brabus B is a bit different

[Escort3500]

Bentley rims part of the crappy ‘Dub scene’ too
