When the pictures were taken of this car, the surroundings were not
optimal as there was unexpected construction taking place in the
warehouse complex. As a result, I used a number of the actual
photographs that I took and placed the car in an AI generated
background. I have included all the original photographs for
comparison but wanted to show the car in a more appropriate
setting. I am happy to provide access to the raw pictures and we
are always open to a visit from a prospective buyer or from the PPI
Inspector of your choice.
