Picture of the Month

This was the last "Picture of the Month" from my site. (I change these about every 2 months, and recycle them here due to excessive vanity).

OK, I give up too easily. What is it?

If its a Berkeley, the van in the background helps give it away...

Yes, it's a Berkeley (I didn't think it'd be that hard to recognize it.) It's a B105, which had a 4 cycle Royal Enfield engine. This particular car was a "Le Mans" Berkeley - I'm not sure why - and was raced in Australia by a dealer there. It still exists.

Somehow the front end of that Berkeley looks slightly unusual, or maybe it's just me...

Sherlock, the Royal Enfield powered cars had a different nose - the headlights were not covered and the grille was squared off.

This particular car was a "Le Mans" Berkeley - I'm not sure why -

Maybe because of the headrest fairing? I think the Lotus 11s had them on their "LeMans" models....
