Some more of Swinging London in the 60s (although not entirely sure where the last photo is - not London I think - great roofrack however!)

The last photograph is Milsom Street in Bath

A couple of pre-production photos.

The snow scene one is being driven by Geoffrey Halton, motoring editor of the Yorkshire Evening Post in the 60's.

Any more info regards Nicki Lauda & Minis?
My Son met him a few days before his current illness .. says he is a pleasant easy going man who was prepared to have a chat :D
I am sure we all wish that Nicki does have speedy recovery following his major surgery.
