The Mercedes is unique, having been created by a US mechanic in the 1950s, and it is feared it will be difficult to restore to its former glory
The Jaguar fared equally badly in the accident and was left with the rear badly twisted into the air and damage to both sets of wheels
Stewards rushed to deal with fuel which spilled onto the track and the race was stopped. Luckily, the drivers of both cars were unharmed
Th accident happened at the 73rd Goodwood Members Meeting, in which cars from all generations are taken around the track for fans
Stewards were unable to move the classic Mercedes and it had to be lifted on to a tow truck before being removed from the famous circuit
Side-view pictures show the damage to the front of the car, which will be returned to its owner in Germany in a much worse state than it left
