Auto Union Silver Arrow at Classic Car Show 2012

By Tarek Ramchani

Last weekend Birmingham hosted the 2012 Classic Car Show. A fantastic selection of historical and legendary cars were on display. Among the stars there was an iconic car from Auto Union, a Silver Arrow Grand Prix machine. These cars were a dominant force in World Grand Prix racing in the 1930s. This specific car was a Auto Union Type D. 

Here some nice photos from our friend Phil Laughton.

Here is a documentary that covers this racing period in great detail. Titled The Silver Arrows from Zwickau, it is 41 minutes of footage that is well worth watching, enjoy:
