Looking for a new car? Want something that's fast, boasts proper racing pedigree and was formerly campaigned by one of the finest Formula 1 drivers in history, “El Maestro”?
Well, we have the perfect car for you: an ex-Fangio 1954 German and Swiss GP-winning Mercedes-Benz W196.
This could well be one of the rarest, most expensive and important historic Grand Prix racing cars to go under the hammer when it hits the block at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this year.
Why's it so special? Because it is the 1954 2½-litre straight-8 Mercedes-Benz W196 einsitzer-chassis number “00006/54” in which five-time world champion Juan Manuel Fangio won both the German and Swiss Grand Prix races in 1954.
