Does the puzzle picture appear anywhere on the Internet or did you get it from a publication?

Thanks; I've Googled everything imaginable to bring up the image but I can't get it..

I found the image online while searching (unsuccessfully) for the answer to a puzzle in the BH. The image doesn't appear in a Google search for this specific vehicle, however. This is because the descriptive caption is part of the original image itself, and not in the accompanying (searchable) text.

The other vehicles by this coachbuilder that I have seen are not very similar.
