What compels people to do this?

Old No. 25 plus rattle can = £250?

At least these aren't so expensive:

That’s quite a coincidence, I helped my son go and pick one of these up two days ago. (Record number 23 Engineers Vice – orange) super original condition and fastened to a bench, literally round the corner £50, gave the bench to his father-in-law for God only knows what for, neither of us needed it.

Ps The blue one in the advert had been for sale for over a year, so not quite so many suckers about ha ha

I know the picture was taken in the rain but the paint job looks very suspect. Even the Tommy bar was sprayed!!

I presumed they'd just washed it (to go along with the dodgy twinkle effects).
I can say from experience that rain can cover a great number of sins on cars. It's hard to spot the issues when everything is covered in droplets and sparkling.

I'm sure that wetting a No. 23 does great things to them though.
