Did the drive get out of this in one piece?

No... That's John Woolfe's 917 in which he crashed and died on the first lap of the 1969 Le Mans 24hr.

It's since been 'restored' – well the chassis plate remains in use (917-005).

From memory the “restored” Woolfe car was an entry at LMC 2022, but only ran in practice and/or qually.

Pic looks kinda similar to the Keyser shots of Pipers car after Maison Blanche.
Piper a lot more fortunate than Woolfe.

Yes - some very special cars, and somehow this photographer manages to change my chartreuse T to a murky yellow - strange!

It is interesting - a lot of modern filters may add 'mood' but often distort reality!
