Collectables

There is a wealth of collectables available to commemorate the achievements of this father and son. They include postcards, collector cards, posters, stickers, tinplate toys, paintings, original photos, white metal, diecast and plastic models. Most if not all are from the period as there is little reproduced items available apart from the models kits. If you are looking for collectables, eBay is a very good place to start. Expect some competition though, this gear is heavily sort after, you will have to pay a reasonable amount for good stuff.Touchwood Models - Bluebird K7 1966/67 - superb quality

There is one kit in particular made
by Touchwood Models of the Bluebird K7 1966/67 version that
is absolutely superb. (see image)

The kit, available directly from the manufacturer, Touchwood Models,
is 1/12th scale, and is of high quality fibreglass - resin construction.

The model is intended for static display, but has been successfully adapted to electric powered radio control operation by experienced modellers. One awesome model!

British Petroleum Promotion - Donald Campbell Bluebird CN7/62 1963

Touchwood Models - Bluebird K7 1966/67 - superb qualityThis great little BP promotional car was spotted on eBay in Australia in January 2003.

Sellers comments: No damage or cracks, never been played with and is in excellent condition. It sold for an amazing $144.00AU.

As far as I am aware, they were
only available in Austraila. I had one of these as a child and you could only purchase one if your parents filled up the car. I think they cost
less than $1.00 at the time.

The underside has all the cars specifications and its dated 1963. Measures approx: 15-1/4" long and 3-7/8" wide.
