Napier L48 Lake Perkolilli 100 mph

In 1907, a team from the Fremantle Motor Museum in Western Australia embarked on an adventure to drive the museum's 1904 Napier L48 Samson at the Lake Gairdner speed trials in South Australia. Unseasonal rain caused the event to be cancelled so they drove back, across the Nullarbor, to the legendary Lake Perkolilli race track near Kalgoorlie where many Australian speed records were set between 1914 and 1939. With only a handful of spectators including Team Shephard (who would later set a world record for the fastest speeds driving a Jaguar E-Type) the car was driven at incredible speeds for a car which uses the 15 Litre six cylinder race engine made in 1904 from the original car. Arthur Macdonald reached 104.65 mph over a measured mile at Daytona Beach in 1905. The aim was to exceed 100 mph at Lake Perkolilli and feel what Arthur Macdonald must have felt when he was the fastest man in the world.
