Pretty funny, I do not see any accident damage to explain the radiator steam, hard to believe they got the waterpump to fail at a precise filming moment.

The video is a sequence of visual references to different Beatles songs. Its been the subject of a few threads on here. The Elan crash is a reference to the death of Tara Browne from 'Day in the Life'.
The Elan number plate is 'YEE 7'. It appears on page 28 of the Robinshaw / Ross book as being owned by Mandy Hadfield, I believe the wife of Simon Hadfield.
