This year celebrates the 90th anniversary of Sir Malcolm Campbell achieving a new World Land Speed record of 150mph at Pendine Sands, South Wales, in his 350hp Sunbeam Blue bird.
Ninety years to the day, the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, is marking the occasion with a commemorative low-speed demonstration run with the Sunbeam, back at Pendine Sands.
The run will take place at 4pm today, starting from the area of the beach adjacent to the Pendine Museum of Speed.
The car will be driven by Sir Malcolm's grandson, Don Wales, himself a Land Speed Record holder.
In addition to performing the run, he and the museum team will be aiming to re-create two iconic pictures from the original run.
Sir Michael Campbell gained the world speed record on land and on water at various times during the 1920s and 1930s.
His son Donald Malcolm Campbell broke eight absolute world speed records on water and on land in the 1950s and 1960s.
He died on Coniston Water whilst attempting to break his own water speed in his jet-powered boat, the bluebird K7.
