This car accompanied several 1920's and 1930's Mercedes-Benz cars on a demonstration run round the Silverstone circuit at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting in July 1994.
It's one of the three 2-litre supercharged 4-cylinder 1924 Mercedes cars that took part in the Targa Florio race in Sicily that year. One of those cars, driven by Christian Werner, won the race, but I've seen two conflicting reports about final placings of the other two cars. Christian Lautenschlager finished in either 10th or 11th place, and the car driven by Alfred Neubauer (later Mercedes-Benz team manager in the 1930's and 1950's) was either 15th or 16th.
