Personally I think the gentleman in question may have actually posted pictures of a 355, as I for one cannot tell that this was ever an MR2.







I shall therefore pass this onto the wisdom of PH to see if they can spot the fine, intricate details which differ between this and one of Maranello's finest...

Hmmm, they are obviously genuine Ferrari rear lights but I'm guessing they may be off the wrong model year?

As horrible as that is, he's not calling it a 355 replica at all.

He actually says it's a 'la-mans' kit which is different to the usual 355 kits.

The fact he can't spell 'le mans' correctly is also irrelevant. tongue out

Well I think Le Mans is French for The Mans and full translation for this car is The Mans Merde.

The mentioning of a supra and Rx7 in the title really puts me back and i'm completely confused as to what base car it is...

I'm particlly impressed with the extra safety features. Obviously fearing other 355 owners will attempt to steal his headlights in these difficult economic times, he appears to have screwed them to the bonnet. I'm off to do that to my car now, its just common sense!

He's probably put Supra and RX-7 (as well as turbo, as the ad says n/a), so that when someone searches for a supra or whatever, his mr2/355-whatever the fook it is, will show up on the results screen.

Edited for spelling

I genuinely couldn't tell it was an MR2 until I saw the seats.

It is also stated as a Turbo in the title, yet further down in the ad he states that it is an N/A...

You guys are crazy, there is no way that is a genuine 355! I've never read such rubbish.












Clearly an F40.
