Fabulous! The bodywork looks reasonably Heraldish too. Though I don't think the Herald had little fins on the rear wings like that. And obviously it had a radiator grille.

Bob Burman. He set speed marks for the mile in 1911 while driving the Blitzen Benz.

"Burman duly lined up at Daytona Beach on April 23, 1911, this long, wide expanse of coastline providing the perfect venue for high-speed trials. Tapping the car’s full potential, he squeezed out an average 225.65 km/h for the mile with flying start and 228.1 km/h over the kilometre with flying start – a new land-speed record which was to remain unbroken until 1919." www.autospeed.com/cms/A_2745/article.html

It's interesting to see that it is driven by a sprocket chain.
