OK, what's weird here (genuine pic., not photoshop)?

Answers on a postcard.

OK, you can post here instead :D
 
Surely the weird thing is that it's not a photoshopped pic? :D
 
No, but that is part of the answer!
 
I'm going to go with the petrol cap, but it's position but it's on the correct side of the car, isn't it?

Or could it be as obvious as the "Evo 2" Mille Migla Limited Edition (?spelling) wheels on a Silver Arrows Limited Edition car? :D

It's a Silver Arrow - or made to look like one with those horrible ;) wheels and monster brakes?
 
If it's a Silver Arrow, then it can't be a facelift.

It's got an AMG bodykit on it.

It's a genuine Silver Arrows limited edition, with a particularly fine ;) set of Ceginus (aka Evo 2, aka Mille Miglia) 17" wheels on it instead of the proper staggered 18" 2-piece ones.

I was down at Olly's this morning having the front & rear disks replaced on my R129, and as a favour I let the owner of the S A go for a run on my wheels (since they were all off anyway). He wanted to prove that the vibration he was getting was to do with his nasty ;) S A wheels. Seems it was.

The Silver Arrow was the run-out R129, so will be the last face lift and they came with AMG bodykits as standard :)
