Same car, same cell cam and same dealers yard.

In the upper pic the car is less than 1 hours old, in the lower one four months.

Note also the change in February/June light, both pics taken at about 2.30 PM.

Yes, see sign for winter set up.

But I do still have a mint set of the cars original 17" Style 244 rims with GY RF tires driven only 1,900 km's.
They are for sale.
