Sir Malcolm Campbell's 350hp Sunbeam firing up in public for the first time in 50 years . Turn your speakers up before it fires.



AWESOME! :thumbright:

Which makes me suspect it was not really the first time. ;)

To be fair, they do state the 1st time in public in 50 years.

I am sure any enthusiast would ensure everything was prepped & tested in advance of the public fire up.

Great to see & know icons are being cherished, maintained for future generations to come.

Thanks for posting :thumbright:
