Looks like the shadow of the left car to me.

But even in this state, this car is worth a huge amount of money. As long as it's got the engine.

Default B133CCX Series 1

Does Anyone know who took the pics of B133CCX in the field, just wondered if anyone knew its whereabouts? I owned the car and took the photo when it had 36000 miles with 1 previous owner. i would like to own it again.
