Four cars, nine engines... They could put them on track for a DVS program!

Or they will make a nice preserved anomaly in the future anyway. Personally, I would return the Holdsworth and Davison race-winning Mercedes to their race winning liveries.
Whilst the Erebus Mercedes didn't live up to their potential, its a important chapter in the sports history. I like the idea of the two race winning cars being looked after for those in the future to be able to look at.

I cant wait til someone writes a book about that programme. Im sure it would make interesting reading..
