16” union multi-spokes, rear folding seat, really? A clean looking 75.

They don’t look enhanced, it looks like too much of a red filter to me!!

I would say they've not been enhanced, but what I think has happened to them is the advert photos have been photographed from an LCD monitor and that the original photos are possibly the auctioneers photos of the car before the dealer bought them.

It could be an image which has been scanned from a printed photograph - hence the slight Moiré effect

This looks to me like a Japanese spec. car. Driver's seat belt warning and 15" crown wheels complete with "dimples".

Also I see that it has the rear blind but the photos don't show powerfolds, driver's cup holder, Harmon stereo, flare holders etc. which should all be present on this car.

Are these pictures enhanced?

IMO they're simply low resolution photos. I don't see any interference fringing myself. Either the camera was purposely set at very lo-res to save memory or they've been downgraded using one of hundreds of free apps. Low resolution saves memory and speeds uploading image lists.

Totally agree... You can see the reflection of the chap sat in front of his PC monitor wearing a black t-shirt while he takes the photos (look at the lower half of the photo).

Spot on... Nice little earner for him without lifting a finger, the seller cant even be bothered to take fresh new photos.
