A company called Ajax Films was also making a film of the attempt - starting in 1963 - and some of their footage was incorporated into Donald's own film "How Long a Mile". There are occasional glimpses of a Zeta in some of the photographs taken in both 19 at Lake Eyre. My particular interest in the Lightburn Zeta is in connection with Donald Campbell and Bluenbird CN7 and the WLSR in July 1964.
Less than 400 were produced and even fewer of the sports version (which was actually based on the Frisky). It had a fairly basic glassfibre body on a steel chassis and was in production from 1963 to 1966. There have been one or two references in recent Forum threads - including those on Messerschmitt Tiger engines, LSR cars, and Kieft - to a relatively little-known Australian light car called the Lightburn Zeta.įor the benefit of UK readers, the Lightburn Zeta was designed by Gordon Bedson (of Meadows Frisky and Kieft fame) and was initiated by a manufacturer of domestic goods (mainly washing machines) called Harold Lighburn.
