Just wondering how many other old RR cars there are out there that were/still are in their promotional guise? This looks interesting on Ebay - a Baja beetle used for an old 1997 Ocean (remember them?!) game called V-Rally: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Baja-Beetle-Bug-Volkswagen-Beach-Buggy-/162153154409?It had some pretty cool looking graphics on the side - shame a Google image search didn't pull up anything else like of it when it was completed for the game. Anyone else have some cars in their promo guise - not just cars done up in an old rally style (lol, which is kind of what this was!)?

I think Ocean did some of the games for my Commodore 64?

There used to be a ton of these... knocking about. I havn't seen one around for ages though! It was fairly common for them to lose the paint job when returning to civilian life, but keep the rear seat fridge! lol

I remember a couple of these, which I think were based on Mini's being stored outside a tyre and exhaust centre on Berkhamstead high street back in the very early 90's. I was a drummer in a band called The Real Peaches at the time and our manager tried unsuccessfully to buy them and then somehow make them more peach like for promo for the band ! Looking back I'm quite glad they wouldn't sell them to him as we would've looked even sillier than we usually did rolling up to a gig in a fibreglass peach

Oh wow! Used to love playing V Rally on my PS1 after school Interesting choice of car though as I don't remember there being a Baja bug on the game.. I might have to dig it out and double check

There was a new beetle version as well, and a bonnet from one was on ebay not long ago.

The Outspan vehicle is winning at the moment for craziest concept!

There was an ex monster energy 70's American Dodge van sold off at the car auction I go to a few months back. Looked awesome but the auctioneer said all the graphics had to be removed before it left the site. No pics though sadly.

Those Minis look like the only Red Bull cars to have been modified don't they? I don't know anything about Minis!
