Donald Campbell's house I presume. The E-Type was his. 

The vehicle on the right is a prototype land speed car, Bluebird Mach 1.1 (CMN-8) he was developing at the time of his death in the Bluebird watercraft.

Really the bravest of the brave. The new Bluebird had a designed top speed of 800mph+.

I've seen the middle land speed car close-to. Amazing thing.

I remember there was a very good drama made about Donald Campbell in the late 1980s with Anthony Hopkins in the lead role.

He drove an E-Type with the registration DC7 in it.

GLM 37C and DC7 were the same car. [Thought the film car probably had a made-up plate put on for the filming]

Explained here:

The personal plate DC7 still in use on another car.
