Not any of the known ones.
This picture is not of the car after an accident, but one of the special feature of it.
And if you look close at the man, you'll have an indication about the place...

It's a German car, named after his inventor, pictured with the car, and its a 'foldable' car.

The source reports the inventor's name of this cyclecar, and it's not York. It starts with 'Z'.

This man is called Heirinch...you know the country and the special feature of this car.
If you recognize also the source, a quick googling may lead you to the solution.
