W125 owned by Colin Crabbe/Neil Corner
Does anyone know who owns this car?
I have seen the W125 at The Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart 8 times! Id love to see one being driven around a circuit at speed! Apparently my tutor from uni got to drive the afore mentioned car at Donington in the 60s or 70s! Wow! Maybe 1 day Ill own 1!

I think this is the one that "Mr F1" Bernie Ecclestone now owns?

I saw this car raced, at Silverstone, by Colin Crabbe shortly after he had restored it. Must have been early 70's, I think. A magnificent sight!

It is indeed the car now owned by Bernie and the only one outside MB's ownership.
I remember Colin Crabbe winning the VSCC Historic Seaman with it at Oulton after a race long dice with the ERAs of Neil Corner and Martin Morris. 580+ bhp made the difference on the straight down to Knickerbrook! |

I remember Colin Crabbe demonstrating it in the lunch break of the 1971 British GP at Silverstone.

This is Colin Crabbe's car at Oulton Park in around 1972
   and a very impressive sight it was, coming over the brow and sweeping through Knicker Brook in the days when it was a real corner |
