I dont think the mini itself is a mock up, just the back ground in which the photos been taken. Altered to make the vehicle look more appealing....

OK, its a terrible job but meh.....

:) Be kinda cool to have.

Was also discussed here , someone in WA has seen the van/ute/whatever you want to call it so it does exist , dunno why you'd try such a crappy photoshop for the ad though ...

He has answered a question from someone here and said the photos were taken in a shed and thought it would look better under a tree to sell it.

To whoever decided to drag ausmini into this , kindly do not quote chunks from here like you have there . By all means ask the seller if there is a reason for it to be photoshopped (like in this case) but please do notquote chunks like that out of context .

A: hi thanks for that just letting you know that yes we have photo shopped it to be in front of a tree we thought it would be a little more interesting that a shed. also the price includes a ice cream machine and ice shaver and generator and other equipment for the ice cream industry. it is not just for the van itself. regards majors group

*sigh*
im pretty sure i knew who did that, sure maybe i shouldnt have said "A hole" but 9 times out of 10, when you have a photoshop'd car going for 15k and a seller with a feedback rating of (0) its a dodgy sale.
to make this person happy, i 1970 mini k will withdraw any comments to do with ebay from here on out to make them happy. i dont see him attacking people recently posted ebay sales in the for sale section so its obviously something to do with me.

lol.

Awesome photoshopping... :P

Well, look at the bright side, at least Ausmini gets another linkback, therefore pushing it's google ratings higher. :D

As soon as you read "I can't get to it @ the moment, it's locked away, well, thats why there's no bids.

I live in perth, I wouldn't mind asking to see it in real life, just to see if he is full of BS....
