pete 55, if we keep on mentioning it will. Thomo's first driver for the Mercedes was a very youthful John Bowe. He raced it before Bryan decided to make the car more of a cross between a Porsche and a Mercedes 450.
Nonetheless, a much more stock looking Mercedes sponsored by Michelob beer, appeared in Trans Am in the early 1980's. It is interesting we had wilder looking cars running in Australia well before that.
BTW. I have shown a few people who are involved with Trans Am and new AGt series(forolder T/aA cars) photos of Frank Gardener's Corvair . They were totally blown away by it.
