Not the Silver Arrow will be the subject of this story. On the contrary, it’s the truck that will take the load of the race car.
"The classic Silver Arrows by Mercedes-Benz are icons of the 1930s. Racing cars such as the W 25, the W 125, the W 154 and the W 165, but also drivers like Manfred von Brauchitsch, Rudolf Caracciola and Hermann Lang, were right in the forefront of the motor racing world in those days. Other vehicles were rather less prominent, but also had a strong effect on the public image – the racing transporters. Wherever these blue trucks with their "Mercedes-Benz Racing Department" appeared, they emphatically underlined the brand’s will to win.
During the 1930s, the Mercedes-Benz racing transporters certainly did their bit towards the successes of the Silver Arrows by bringing the cars to the Grand Prix racetracks on time, ensuring a reliable supply chain from the plant and acting as mobile workshops.
