Most awesome shooting brake ever!! If it's real, of course.

It looks photoshopped to me. I can tell from some of the pixels and from having seen quite a few 'shops in my time.

You can see some kind of weird cloning in the shadow:





Also, for those interested in actual proof, I found the original:

Amazing what can be done on a computer!!!  It certainly makes you second guess every picture....   :o

Too funny, and well spotted people. The boat in the last pic is also different, the dangers of buying sight unseen eh?

Haha,

You can see in the last pic (the Wagenized version), where the boat is different, that in fact a section has been chopped out of it on the left hand side.

The pics that amaze me are the sedan vs wagon set.  It must be photoshopped, but the detail is incredible.  How... no, Why would someone go to the trouble, or has photoshop just gotten that good, and that easy?

Here's the real deal:

116 on a Landcruiser chassis........

Not unusual in as much as there have been a pile of car bodies grafted onto 4wd chassis.

I have done it a few times with good result and recently there was a very well done Mini/Suzuki hybrid on ebay which looked kickarse!

My efforts surrounded a Volvo Body on a Rangie chassis and a Cruiser chassis and were both rough but functional.
