Event Coverage Pendine this week

The 350hp Sunbeam was back at Pendine this week, driven by Don Wales (grandson of Sir Malcolm Campbell), 90 years to the day after it broke the Land Speed Record on the Welsh sands .

 

Gorgeous car......thanks for posting the info and pics.

 

At last an event just 20 miles from where I live too!

 

That is a beautiful car.What was his speed?And some history.

 

Built by Sunbeam at the company's Wolverhampton works, powered by a modified Manitou Arab 18.3-litre V12 engine. The car held three LSRs, the last in 1925, when it ran at 150.76mph. This week it made demonstration runs.

 

That's so cool. Bucket list place, fer sure. Gary

 

Wow - what a beauty

 

Sadly Babs didn't even make it out of the museum right by the Sands, but the Napier Railton, brought down from Brooklands, did.
