This is a photograph that I took in the paddock at the Vintage Sports Car Club's Richard Seaman Memorial Trophies meeting at Oulton Park in June 1972.
It's the 5,663cc straight-8
supercharged 1937 Mercedes-Benz W125 with which Colin Crabbe took part in the
Richard Seaman Memorial Historic Trophy Race and which he won later that day.
Rescued by Colin Crabbe from East Germany in the 1960s, it's the only
Mercedes-Benz W125 in private hands and was subsequently owned by Neil Corner
and Bernie Ecclestone.
