No, I think it's because he can't see where he's going since someone nicked his eyes..

Is it not a car at all anymore, but a piece of furniture?

No.
I think the owner's country is written on the plate. More important is where it was built and the name of the project.

Well, it's not like you to leave the obvious exposed. Remember the cars with identical taillights that couln't be seen in the pictures presented?  ;D

So, I was looking (incorrectly) at the many other places with the same name.

Based on a competition vehicle?

Oh, my weak memory... :scratch:

Unfortunately my source reveals nothing about a based vehicle at all..  :-\

I guess it isn't equipped with these parts as well...

I don't know if it was ever completed.
However its badged with the brand name and coachbuilder — which I was most surprised.
