Summary edit

Description
English: Dinky Toy' model of Captain G.E.T. Eyston's land speed record-breaking car, Thunderbolt.
 In November 1937 Captain G.E.T. Eyston, in his specially designed car "Thunderbolt", set up a world land-speed record of 312.20 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, U.S.A. This was 11 mph above the previous record, set up in 1935 by Sir Malcolm Campbell in his "Bluebird".
Captain Eyston's car has two supercharged Rolls-Royce aero engines developing 4,500 bhp, and is fitted with a special streamlined body of aluminium alloy. It is 30ft 5in long, and its total weight is seven tons.
The car is portrayed as it was in its initial season of 1937, with the large octagonal radiator grille.
