    Today I saw a nice Ferrari, took note of the reg but wasn't sure of the model. So I put the reg into Cartell dot .ie and it said it was a different type of car.

    What I saw was a Ferrari 355, it showed up as a Toyota MR2. Something dodgy going on or jus a mistake on cartells side?

    You get a body kit for an MR2 that makes it look like a Ferrari.

    Replica body kit more than likely.

    Always thought you'd have to be a pretty sad person to drive around in one of them.

    Diesel converted MR2 with a ferrari kit would be pretty much instant "local legend" status in a lot of the country.


    What's that you say? Surely such an abomination cannot exist in violation of natural laws?

    They are a disgrace and fooling no one in reality.
    It's old hat and pretty sad. I wouldn't be seen within a half mile of one of those things. Anyone who knows anything will laugh about you.

    Each to their own I say. In my opinion it's less stupid than putting 14 inch wide wheels and airbags on a passat but sure thats the essence of life.

    And they are fooling people in reality, the op for example so I guess it does work.

    Just out of interest what would you insure it as?

    "What car is it?" Toyota MR2
    "Any modifications?" It looks quite like a Ferrari
