CAMPBELL-RAILTON BLUE BIRD
Powered by a Rolls-Royce 'Type-R' racing engine, intended for 'Schneider Trophy' aircraft, the Campbell-Railton 'Blue Bird' was the pinnacle of Sir Malcolm Campbell's racing achievement. In this car he broke the Land Speed record in 1935 becoming the first to break the 300mph barrier setting a new record speed of 301.129mph. The model recreates his record breaking run on the Bonneville Salt Flats with figures representing Sir Malcolm Campbell and his senior engineer Leo Villa. Of course the cockpit features a detailed instrument panel and steering wheel.
This limited edition of 100 only is £125.00 plus shipping. The optional figures are an additional £30.
MERCEDES-BENZ T80 'Schwarzer Vogel'
Designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1930s the Mercedes-Benz T80 was built for Germany's attempt on the Land Speed record. It was powered by a Daimler-Benz DB603 aircraft engine driving the four rear wheels. The advent of the Second World War curtailed this attempt and the car now resides in the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart.
This limited edition of 100 only is £110.00 plus shipping. The optional figures of Ferdinand Porsche and Hans Stuck are an additional £30.
