evidently the original was taken at Donald Campbell's surrey home in 1966 with this picture of his e-type next to a mock up of a rocket car they were looking at for a speed record
and evidently the mini is a Morris Cooper parked alongside Donald Campbell's prototype Bluebird CN8 Jet car
his last words when crashing his jet powered boat in 1967 on conniston water were "
"I'm getting a lot of bloody row in here. I can't see anything. I am having to draw back. I've got the bows up. I've gone. Oh..."
I remember watching it as a kid in the UK
n't see anything. I am having to draw back. I've got the bows up. I've gone. Oh..."

I think the slightly modified Mk1 won the 1966 Monte Carlo Rallye but was disqualified after tech inspection. I hear something about the lights. Go figure.
