Sharknose already has it

I do have a soft spot for these smaller open wheelers, like the Gordin's as well.
But the Merc W154 is a great 30's car

The thing that most impressed me at Goodwood with all of the older (40s and 50s) cars they had there was the number of cars that have corduroy driving seats. I trust that we will be including those for the mods?
