[Land Speed Record]. [CAMPBELL, Donald]

World Challenge. Proteus Bluebird Project 1963 [cover title]

[London], Griggs Lander Associates Limited [for Donald Campbell?], February 1963.

Small oblong quarto (183 × 245 mm), 16 pages with numerous two-colour line illustrations plus the colour-pictorial covers.

Colour-pictorial card covers (featuring Roy Nockolds artwork), with colour illustrations on the inside panels; covers lightly rubbed and foxed; corners slightly creased; a few other minor signs of age and handling; an excellent copy.

The 1963 World Land Speed Record attempt at Lake Eyre was abandoned when a 20-year drought broke and the lake was flooded; a successful attempt was made the following year. Most of the illustrations relate to the construction of the Bluebird-Proteus CN7 vehicle used in both attempts.
