EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in automotive history - the Toyota Ampol fuelling trucks supporting the Bluebird CN7 World Land Speed Record attempt at Lake Eyre, Australia in 1964. In this image, we witness the convergence of technological prowess and industrial might as these powerful trucks stand ready to supply fuel for Donald Campbell's record-breaking endeavor. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Australian outback, this scene showcases both the rugged beauty of the country and its pivotal role in pushing boundaries. The Bluebird CN7, a British automobile marvel built by AC Cars Ltd. , aimed to shatter existing speed records with its cutting-edge design and engineering. The presence of Toyota Ampol fuelling trucks signifies not only their crucial support but also highlights their prominence within Australia's transport industry during that era. As one gazes upon this colorfully captured moment from half a century ago, it is impossible not to be transported back to an age where innovation and ambition knew no bounds. Preserved within the walls of National Motor Museum, this photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination. It reminds us that progress often requires venturing into uncharted territories – both geographically and technologically – all while paying homage to those who paved the way for future breakthroughs.
