Be helpful if the advert actually said something about the car instead of a load of guff

the Outlaw can often be spotted by its tatty appearance, lowered suspension and wider tyres.

it is only recently that Outlaws have gained a loyal following and respect within the classic car world; aided by the likes of Singer Vehicle Design

So Singers are Outlaws? Nonsense

Outlaw: Paint a couple of panels a different colour and cover it in stickers. Bingo

So cynical !

I don't know if you've noticed but this car appears to have what appears to be a genuine Magnus sticker on the dashbord.

Somebody needs to call and check to see if the sticker is actually genuine.

A friend who viewed it found a listing for this car at auction in June '16 which makes no reference to MW, and appears to show the car in a pre-'outlaw' configuration with standard seats and no black panels or dash stickers etc:

Not sure he is still an ambassador after the big TV presenter crash....?

They seem to have distanced themselves recently....

Just a few stickers ,!! Not sure rod Emory would agree with you . I'm not a fan of the outlaw but
It was a very shortsighted comment.

Wow, now this is some brazen shite-talking.

The problem here is, the Porsche world is small. People already know what an outlaw is. The spiel is patronising and factually incorrect. The MW isn't interesting to 99% of enthusiasts.

Besides all this, it look like someone has knacked-up what was once a quite pretty car.

The shame of it all.

Don't get your drift

Rod Emory builds real Outlaws - this is far from it and is far removed from anything Emory builds yet is being presented as such

Can't see what's short sighted about Nicks comment he's just pointing out how the phrase
is now being used to describe a multitude of cars

Anyway.... this one has been busted
