This weekend Charles Lord March hosted the 24th annual Goodwood Festival of Speed on his fabulous estate. Going from strength to strength, it is now much more than the celebration of motorsport it started out as. Today it also serves as the de facto British Motor Show. This year's theme was 'Full Throttle - The Endless Pursuit of Power', which was very appropriate as it was the 50th anniversary of the popular Can-Am Challenge Cup, while throughout the field large engined and very powerful machines starred, whether it was the Fiat S.76 'Beast of Turin' or the brand new Bugatti Chiron. On Friday, Bonhams stated their traditional Festival of Speed sale. Perhaps hampered by the turmoil of the 'Brexit' only 60% of the lots sold for a total of just under GBP 7 million.
A sell-out crowd braved the changeable weather conditions and the resulting mud to enjoy another great fantastic Festival of Speed. We were among them for the full four days and have captured all the highlights in a 340-shot gallery of the event itself and another 40-shot gallery of the Bonhams auction, which serve to illustrate our concise report. In the coming days and weeks, you can find many detailed features on the great cars that starred at this year's Festival of Speed.
