Somebody said to me the other day (a died in the wool Merc-ist) that Mercedes have lost their way, model wise and quality wise, and the last decent car they made was the W123.....

Re: A Class - Tomo
Such odd numbers were probably no more than drawing office numbers.

The W.125 was very much in the metal in 1937, developed 646 bhp (about twice that of Supra now here, rather fine!) at 5800rpm from 5.66 litres with Schiebervergaser, was clocked at 193 mph at Spa and pioneered long travel suspension, no inverted wings in those days.

The modern GP driver seems to graduate straight from karts to vast Flymos!
