Description of the original vehicle:Mercedes sent four W125 racing cars to the Donington GP in England on 2 October 1937.
Richard „Dick“ Seaman, the Englishman in the service of Mercedes, started the race with starting number 4 and naturally wanted to deliver a particularly successful race result for his compatriots. His hopes were dashed on the 4th lap when Auto Union driver H.P. Müller hit the rear of Seaman's car from behind, catapulting the W125 into the sidelines. With damage to the rear end, the gearbox and, above all, the right rear shock absorber, Seaman was able to continue with restrictions, but ultimately had to retire from the race on lap 30, bitterly disappointed.
