EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Bluebird CN7 as it is transported to Lake Eyre in Australia for its world record attempt in 1964. The image showcases the immense scale of this endeavor, with the majestic blue car being carefully loaded onto a trailer and covered for protection during its journey across the desert. The Bluebird CN7, manufactured by AC Cars Ltd. , was a symbol of British engineering excellence and innovation. Piloted by Donald Campbell, an acclaimed speed racer, this vehicle aimed to break the world land speed record on the vast salt flats of Lake Eyre. The photograph not only highlights the impressive machinery involved but also offers a glimpse into the geographical features that played a crucial role in this ambitious undertaking. The barren landscape surrounding Lake Eyre serves as a stark reminder of both nature's beauty and challenges faced by those seeking to push boundaries. Preserved within National Motor Museum archives, this historic image transports us back to an era when record-breaking feats captivated global attention. It represents an important milestone in automotive history and stands as a testament to human determination and technological advancement. As we admire this snapshot from yesteryears, let us remember Donald Campbell's unwavering spirit and his relentless pursuit of pushing limits beyond what was deemed possible.
