(Basically, from memory the advertising hoarding was a typical BMW white background, with a headline across the top and a tag line across the bottom. Instead of a 'side-on' picture of a 635 part of the car stuck out 'through' the advert, with the rest presumably secured and supported behind the hoarding).
Could this be where the mysterious car came from, or, could they have used the accident damaged bodyshell for this as the damage was hidden?

There's an (admittedly small) picture of this advertising hoarding in the latest issue of Classic & Sportscar Magazine (which was a relief for me to see as I was wondering if I'd imagined it!). I will try to scan & post it soon for you all to see.
