The Goodwood Festival of Speed has been supported by Mercedes-Benz as a main sponsor right from the start and developed into one of the most significant events on the worldwide classic calendar.
This is where the aura of the Mercedes-Benz brand, developed over more than 120 years, comes into its own in the presence of spectators whose competence and enthusiasm is quite unique on a global scale.
At the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Mercedes-Benz will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Silver Arrows. The collection of the Mercedes-Benz Museum provides original Grand Prix cars, starting with Manfred von Brauchitsch’s W 25 from 1934 to last year’s McLaren-Mercedes MP4-23 which Lewis Hamilton drove to another world championship for Mercedes-Benz.

Can I bring my 1937 Mercedes-Benz W125 Grand Prix car to this event? I guess maybe not as it is only a 24 inches (60cm) long museum quality static model. See my Flickr Photostream for photos – http://www.flickr.com/photos/36111778@N08/sets/72157615939916780/
Stunning model Peter – and massive! Really cool. Great pictures on your Flickr page as well. Let us know when you want to photograph for SCD.
Thanks for sharing.
