Mercedes SLR McLaren ’MSO’ 1000 mile road-trip special. Lake District, Donald Campbell, Bluebird

The Mercedes SLR McLaren was launched back in 2003 and now in 2021, MSO (McLaren Special Operations) have launched a revised version of this 208mph, carbon-fibre bodied GT. With more power, revised chassis new body colours and interiors, I decided to take in on a 1000-mile road-trip to the Lake District to find out what it was like to live with on a big trip. During the video, I investigate Donald Campbell’s disastrous world record attempt to become the fast man on water in January 1967 in his boat, Bluebird K7. This section of the video starts at 17:53 and ends at 24:58. This video was created with the support of: Follow me on
