..and the road signs and the fire hydrant and the type of building construction etc etc...

Plus the fact that if this car was in the UK we would have known about it.

The same seller (and a few others that have popped up at the same time but with identical page design) is selling other cars too that also look rather like they are in the US and not the UK.

Three clues as to why that pic was not taken in the UK:-

1- It's a ragtop. With the top down.
2- A Health and Safety official would have run up and asked for all the correct permits to 'take a live photograph in a public environment'. End of photo session.
-2 There'd be a KFC or McD's in the background.
