That is a new view of the Panhard sedan. And it is a very different solution than the Panhard LeMans car.
Neil,I've got a shot taken from a higher elevation and it's clear that the car was 'streamlined' in plan-view rather than in elevation.It appears that the 'mirror-image' of the car in ground reflection is not considered,so the 'Template' would be of no value when analyzing it.
It's done like Craig Vetter has done the bikes.
