Lledo, a British offshoot of Matchbox issued a series of Land Speed Record cars around the year 2000.
Here is the first of that series.
The Bluebird, driven by Captain, Sir Malcolm Campbell, achieved his greatest ambition at Bonneville Flats in September, 1935, when he improved his own record breaking records (he broke the world record 9 times) going over the magical 300 miles per hour barrier. Actually 301.129 average travelling in two directions.
Here is the model.
