Bonnet looks Mk1 with side portion behind rear arch reaching down to sill level; on Mk2 this was shortened, with the lower bit below the side vent fixed as part of the body side. Did she also wreck a DB4(?) (45LA75 = 1961)?? Was she the Gallic predecessor of Rowan Atkinson and his mission to wreck McLaren F1s??
