Nurburgring in a Mercedes W125

Not specifically Seven-related, but a great vintage video of Hermann Lang driving the Nurburgring German GP circuit in a pre-war 600 hp Mercedes W125, with course narration by Graham Hill, and timing by Alfred Neubauer:

I've had the opportunity to see a W125 in action the last couple of times I've been to Goodwood. Here are a couple of pics of the car the Mercedes Museum brought out for a drive up the hill from this year's FoS:

Then a few days later I had the opportunity to visit the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart and got another chance to see the W125 Rekordwagen:

Very impressive machines indeed!
