I haven't been able to rule that one out, yet: Sports Car And Lotus Owner Magazine, July 1959.

But it's a small article (1 page), and may not even have pics.

I highly doubt it. I would search German newspapers and magazine reports, since nothing has turned up anywhere else. It's also likely there is nothing since it was subject to a police investigation.

Yes, and that is also the reason there absolutely must be something. It's a 100% certainty that the German police at least have photos of the wreck in their archives, as I cannot see how they would have presented the actual wreck in court. Maybe they will be made public when mr. Moss is no longer among the living. So, I don't really mind if that takes a long time.

I think there must really be something about it.
Maybe in a magazine, maybe in a private collection, maybe in a book.
But something must exist. Really.

I tried to search our beloved e-newspapers.ch archives, but nothing. Only article with illustration was photo of Meyrat himself.
