Sunbeam Talbot Darracq Register are enthusiastically supporting this event and encourage members of this group and the public to join in the celebrations. This was the last time a Land Speed Record was achieved by a conventional racing car and in the UK. Originally named Ladybird, the Sunbeam racing car was later named Tiger and successfully raced at Brooklands. It's supercharged 4 litre V12 engine was based on two of the 1925 Sunbeam Grand Prix winning 6 cylinder blocks. The Sunbeam Tiger name was later re-used for the hugely successful V8 engined version of a Sunbeam Alpine sports car in the 1960s.
