Goodwood has confirmed that the legendary pre-war Silver Arrow race cars will be making an appearance at the Revival, with at least ten Mercedes-Benz and Auto Unions racing along side their contemporary British and Italian rivals.

This will be the first time such a display has taken place in the UK, or worldwide, since the original Grand Prix races over 75 years ago. It's being described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it's unlikely that so many of these rare and valuable cars will race together for a long time, if ever.

So far confirmed to appear are the Mercedes-Benz W25, W125, W154 and W165, plus examples of the Auto Union Type C and Type D. They will all be racing, with well-known top-level racing drivers, although names are still to be confirmed.
