Campbell and his team returned to Lake Eyre in 1964, but the surface never returned to the promise it had held in 1962 and Campbell had to battle with CN7 to reach record speeds ( over ).

Campbell's speed on his final Lake Eyre run remained the highest speed achieved by a wheel-driven car until 2001 ; Bluebird CN7 is now on display at the National Motor Museum in Hampshire, England, her potential only partly realised.
