‘The inside story of Donald Campbell’s last Land Speed Record car’ told by someone who was on the car’s design team from the very early stages. Under difficult conditions Campbell and Bluebird CN7 set a Land Speed record of 403.10 mph in July 1964, but the car was undoubtedly capable of much higher speeds. It was years ahead of its time, and a tribute to British design and engineering. This is a fascinating account of the car’s development and construction, with a considerable amount of technical detail, including many reproduced technical development notes and reports of the record attempts. 160 pages, 142 illustrations and drawings. Hardbound. Veloce
