VIN 695626 submitted by Javier Sapello / Daniel Friedman Note the roll up drivers side window and strange bulkhead
Submitted by Everett Barnes This is suspected to be a colorized black and white photo. It is LHD with a left side door, Swedish specs. Sign on door refers to a construction company. Also notice that the vertical line for the rear edge of the front door "disappears" up by the semaphore, as well as some of the lines for the rear door also vanish.
