£79.00

Schylling's new and highly collectable tinplate model of the famous Bluebird.

Driven by Sir Malcolm Campbell, it set a record speed of 272.46 mph' over a ten and a half mile course, at Daytona Beach on 22 February 1933. The original car was powered by a supercharged 2,500-hp V-12 Rolls Royce 'Schneider Trophy' type R aero engine and was fitted with specially developed tyres by Dunlop. Conditions on the day were poor and despite beating his previous record by 20mph, Sir Malcolm always felt that the car could have done considerably better under more favourable weather conditions.

This fantastic 50cm tinplate model of the 1933 car features : clockwork wind up motor - tinplate body - detailed paintwork and driver figure - rubber tyres - beautifully illustrated box. Also included is a numbered certificate of authenticity and full colour booklet with fascinating facts and photos of the original car.
