Rare silent archive film of Major Segrave's Land Speed Record attempt with one of the most iconic cars of all-time - Golden Arrow. Daytona Beach 11th March 1929, 231.45 mph.
Includes rare aerial, car-to-car and onboard footage of testing and the actual attempt.
The car was powered by a Napier Lion W12 Lion VIIa producing 925hp at around 3300rpm.
Also includes coverage of Lee Bible's ill-fated run in the White Triplex special two days later. This has been left in for historical interest and as a tribute to the bravery of the driver. We're on INSTAGRAM: http://bit.ly/2evtvsg
