Must be the shop owner trying to attract customers to shop in his store?

I've seen it. It's in London. It's not a nice car, lots of incorrect details.

 I have seen this car a few time over the years on the local roads and today I spotted it parked a couple miles from our home at a fire station. I met the owner and it turns out he lives not far from me, small world, and has owned the car for several years. He just had it repainted a couple of months ago but the chrome is original. I gave him our Forum's website address and he showed interest in signing up:-)
