If you had put hundreds of hours of hard earned craftmanship in to that car you would just look at it and weep..

Also, is to just me or have the passenger seats all been removed? It's not be turned into a track car has it?

If it has it might rival some Mk3's in the handling department.  :laugh:

(Although in this case the Mk3's are much better looking)

Of those you've just posted, the Rangie doesn't actually come across that bad. From what I can see it's pretty much standard with some wraps on the chrome work and powder coated wheels. Change the pink to matte black and you've got a good looking and subtle car.

The R8 and the Continental are just  :sick: however. It's a shame really as I'm a fan of both cars.

Two good points.

I don't think this listing is for your average punter who is going to want MOT slips, invoices and similar paperwork. If this car genuinely is for sale (and if it actually sells) then it will go to someone who just wants it for what it is. It's ugly, vulgar and completely distasteful by almost everyone's standards but that's what some of these folks go for.

Unfortunately it's a Rolls so we can't even hope that whoever buys it will crash it into a tree down some country road.  :grin: :sad:

Don't forget the pink interior.


Rolls really is sacrilege.  :sick:

Do the people who own these things just get so bored of looking at yacht brochures and thinking up ways to dodge taxes that they just go mental and start taking it out on poor defenceless cars.. :angry:

It looks like a car you would find in Saints Row.

I fully expected to see a boot full of weapons and a 4 ft long purple dildo on a stick.

That Rolls is tragic.

So Victoria Beckham has now had a go at car design/customisation with a limited edition Range Rover Evoque. It's not actually that bad but it's twice the price of the normal Evoque.
