                          Greetings to all,since I'm usually posting on the Armor Forum,I'm new here.  I'm currently marking my CMC 1:18 Grand prix car collection according to my favorite drivers and their greatest wins,i.e.,Dick Seaman's Eifel win in 1937 in the M.B. W125,#5,Bernd Rosemeyer at Vanderbilt Cup in1937 in the Auto-Union Type C,#4, etc,etc.  Despite my research,including all of Chris Nixons books and his autobiography(Langs) I can't find a photo or record of the number used by Hermann Lang on his MB W125 at his win at Tripoli in 1937!! Can anyone help or give me a link to a specific classic Grand Prix forum that might help?? TIA,Mike

                           Thank You!!! Definitely Tripolis,as I have a shot of Rosemeyer taken from the same vantage point,and I have shots of the other Mercedes team members from the same race,so it has to be 2 for Lang.......                                               Very Happy Mike

                        I love the old F1 cars, and Lang was one of the best!
