looking for classic photo

I am in search of the highest quality electronic version of this photo that I can find.

http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/...Rally_Mini.jpg

I intend to use it as source material to create artwork for my garage. I am looking forward to it, but I want to start from a decent file.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

That's an improvement on what i had...

Thanks for the link - still searching for something larger, but that's a step in the right direction.

MiniMad:

I contacted the BMIHT today and they responded promptly, offering to scan the original negative and send me a file for a fee of 15 pounds.

If I can find the shot out on the net for free in a reasonable size, it would be great, but I guess I can't beat the quality of a 300dpi (or greater) scan from the negative.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Number and Driver?

By the way - Apparently the photo was taken at the RAC Rally of Great Britain in 1967. Does anyone know who the driver is in this shot, or even the number on the bonnet? Looks like O (or C or G) RX 311D to my eyes.
