Bizarre - 1:43 Land Speed Record Cars   B1067 - Mickl Record Car 1937 A futuristic six-wheeled record car, with a number of interesting aerodynamic features ahead of their time,  like the inverted rear wing, designed to produce downforce. The design was patented by Joseph Mickl, head of R& D at Porsche, when they were still a model development and consulting firm and followed on from Mercedes' W125 Rekordwagen. B1075 - Bluebird CN7 Donald Campbell Lake Eyre, South Australia, 1963 After crashing at the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah in September 1960, Campbell's Bluebird was rebuilt with differential locks (it was four wheel drive) and a central stabiliser fin and shipped to Australia for a new record attempt in 1963. 500 mph was the plan and Lake Eyre was chosen for its wide open expanses and rock hard surface after not seeing rain for twenty years. However, only low speed runs were eventually possible due to the area finally seeing rainfall to the degree that the lake flooded and Campbell's plans were aborted until the following year.
