EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the world of land speed records. Taken in 1964, it showcases the awe-inspiring sight of the iconic Bluebird CN7 being transported through the rugged Australian bush towards Lake Eyre. The Bluebird CN7, an extraordinary creation by AC Cars Ltd. , was designed to break new ground in automotive engineering and push the boundaries of speed. In this image, we witness a convoy of trucks and trailers carefully navigating their way through dense foliage as they transport this record-breaking vehicle. Covered to protect it from prying eyes and potential damage, the Bluebird CN7 remains hidden beneath its protective cloak. Donald Campbell, a British legend known for his daredevil spirit, is at the helm of this ambitious project. With determination etched on his face, he leads his team towards Lake Eyre where he hopes to shatter existing land speed records. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of an incredible feat but also in its representation of innovation and progress within the automobile industry during that era. It serves as a reminder that human ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to pushing limits and achieving greatness. Preserved within Australia's National Motor Museum today, this image stands as a testament to Donald Campbell's unwavering pursuit for glory on wheels - forever capturing a moment frozen in time.
