Jonathan (Joff) CARTER
64: Donald's Double | Donald Campbell | 1964 Bluebird CN7 & K7 | Original Art
This accomplished mixed media artwork by Joff Carter is a portrait of Donald Campbell in the Bluebird CN7, clutching his lucky mascot Mr Whoppit. This piece celebrates Donald’s famous 1964 achievement, becoming the first (and so far only) person to set both the land and water speed record in the same year. In July, Campbell took the CN7 to Lake Eyre in Australia where he broke the land speed record, clocking 403.10 mph. Then came his seventh water speed record, this time at Western Australia’s Lake Dumbleyung in the Bluebird K7. With a speed of 276.33 mph, Donald clinched his iconic double on the very last day of the year.
