Browsing through the autotrader I spotted a Ferrari F40, take a look at the link:

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/2010...

Now I have only ever seen an F40 is the flesh once and that was a few years ago, however that glimpse was enough for me to get a relatively good idea of what it looked like. This looks very very very wrong, proportions seem totally out, I don’t whether I should laugh or cry.

I always find that the word "replica" gives it away it these adverts

As well as the lack of any sort of attempt at correct spelling in the advert.

The only way that will "easily pass for a £350K 202mph supercar" is if you are Stevie Wonder sans arms, legs and any other appendage which might let to sense the cars presence other than smell

Oh, and I'm fairly sure the dancing donkeys were well on to the F50 by the time that abortion was created.

Yes spelling is pretty bad for someone trying to sell a £20 car

Looks more like a bad fake / kit version of a Koenig Testarossa than an F40 wink

what I dont get is why spend all that money on something its not.

If you have to put a kit on an MR2 why not go for the TRD one (at least its genuine) and drop a Toyota V6 in the back?

You do know that the Advert says replica?

Yeah ok I couldnt find a link to the genuine one, but at least it will be more Toyota than that "F40" is "Ferrari"

Funnily enough, in the 22(?) years they've been in existance, I'd never seen one on the road until about a month ago.

It was on the M42, and looked as if the owner was having an unfortunate moment with it (on the hard shoulder). It was definately a genuine one though.
