Hopefully nothing and the driver walked away.
When I was 24, I was building a beach buggy, and at a breakers in Crawley removing the pedal assembly from a VW Beetle...only to find that the passenger side floor was covered in blood. I can still remember how crap I felt....but it didn't stop me getting the bits I needed though.

There's a technical term for that Faheem.

Been there, done that. Not uncommon when we were youths Malc, I've seen bits of skin still hanging about on wrecks. But hell, there's money in them.

Hmm don't think this thread/topic was meant for pictures like these
That's up there with the scariest looking Z3 wrecks I've seen. And I make a habit of studying salvage.
It appears to have taken a direct hit on the driver side, eg from pulling out at a T-junction into the path of an oncoming car. And the centre of impact looks like it was the driver although possibly more on their legs than torso.
Z3s and indeed most cars are extremely robust in front/rear collisions. They are relatively weak in comparison if involved in a side collision and the driver is much more vulnerable. At the very least that would have been a very unpleasant experience for the driver.
Thankfully these days cars like that would be Cat B or possibly Cat A meaning they'd never normally reach the public. I certainly wouldn't touch a car I thought someone had been badly hurt in.
