Spot the errors!
For the Sprint enthusiast:
There are various anomalies to the sample above - that's because it is a personalised car drawing albeit with a generic 'years' plate and is typically not 100% original. So if you would like a more accurate drawing of your Sprint please include photographic information with your order in particular showing number plate light, boot badges, front indicators.
(and don't forget you'll receive a proof first)
