OK, here are 3 shots of the Vauxhall
<http://www.chucknorcutt.com/Vauxhall/index.htm>
The first is taken with the Samsung pocket camera @ 28mm equiv, the 
second with 5D and Tamron 24-135 @ 24mm and the third with 5D and Tamron 
20-40 @ 40mm.

I don't know the model year of the car but these photos were taken in 
the summer of 2011 so it can't be newer than that.
