It seems, but comparing to pictures I have here, it seems like the front indicator lights are smaller, and the air intakes larger.

^ ^ ^This sighting is quite unrealistic....

But Trintignant was not the only one; here is John Surtees, with his Lotus (still in Riverside), in a more 'californian' landscape :

oooooh. Alpina CSL. Have to love those!
I saw one for sale a few years ago in the UK for 18000 pounds when a normal CSl was 12000 pounds.
The roadgoing Alpina version could do 0-100 in 6 secs with a top end of around 250kph and had 250bhp!
