Jim Clark driving down a bobsled run - the photo

When Ford introduced the new Cortina they got Jim Clark to drive one down the Olympic bobsled run at Cortina D'Ampezzo. Apparently it was the inspiration for the same stunt in a later James Bond movie. It's in this profile of Walter Hayes, who ran Ford motorsport:
