A great workaround for most news sites is to put https://archive.is/ in front of the original https://www.etc…. and it’ll give you a full archived version most of the time
Will try that as my "behind paywalls" extension stopped working a while ago.
Easy workaround for the Telegraph though is to just turn javascript off

@ZedLeg Looks like the plain cigarette packs before they had to have diseased lungs on. Before long you'll get an image of an obese belly on the box.

They’ll all be behind cabinets in identical plain boxes next and take the staff 10 minutes to find the correct pasty

When customers don't want to pay $4000 for a matte wrap, they come to him... and get that shocking job.
My wrap chap had a Urus in before my MX5 and he showed me the previous 'peelable wrap' which was on it. It was gold and impossible to remove, took days apparently, and couldn't all be removed in places like the bonnet shuts. I guess that's what has been done to this Merc. Just awful.

I think @integrale_evos rattle can job on the Metro was better than that Merc.
I'm not even joking.

Unless someone deliberately put bad rattle can coverage into a wrap, of course.
I suspect this clown is just offering you the real thing though.

I would imagine it’s a plastidip style sprayable wrap, surely no one would actually pay them to do a rattlecan style matt black paint job on what was a decent looking car.
I love how it instantly made the whole thing look old and knackered

That's what I was assuming - similar to the 'peelable wrap' that wasn't on the Urus I saw.

Annoyingly easy when you figure it out.
Solution is available in the first reply, but obvs try not to jump to that.
