Some great footage here of a seriously long race in the USA, I think you will see a Jinx or two in amongst them. Copied from Johns Old Mercs forum in the USA. Halcyon days.

Footage from 1953
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Wow - nerves of steel - 7000 spectators - as much as 25 hp - a day out with the CMBA!!!
Excellent footage and some great old cars there as well.

Simmonds fitted from new with what, I believe, is the only running factory marinised Daimler 2.5 litre V8 (as fitted to the Daimler SP 250) in the UK. Please let me know if you find another! Believed to be Norman Buckley's race boat.
