Campbell-Railton Blue Bird, Corgi Campbell-Railton Blue Bird Ref. 153 diecast model, 1:63 scale with plastic wheels. Production period from 1962 to 1965.
The Campbell-Railton Blue Bird is a vehicle built to achieve records that were, at the time of its creation, unthinkable; in 1935 it exceeded the record speed of 300mph with British driver Malcolm Campbell at the wheel. The car was built starting from the 1932 design of the Campbell-Napier-Railton Blue Bird, but the Napier-Lion engine was replaced with the more powerful Rolls-Royce R engine, a V12 engine with approximately 2300 hp. In 1933, the first attempt made at Daytona Beach set a record of 272 mph, and given the problems encountered with the car due to the greater power of the English V12, technicians were prompted to entirely redesign the car. Thus, on September 3, 1935, Malcolm Campbell set the astonishing land speed record of 301.129 mph, approximately 485 km/h, with the 1935 Blue Bird. The Campbell-Railton Blue Bird is preserved in the Daytona International Speedway museum.
