Mercedes-Benz W165
Photos by Jonathan Sharp
As we reported last week, Jonathan Sharp, as usual, attended the Goodwood Festival of Speed, held on July 6-7. He took photos of everything else that moved, or was stationary in the paddock, and while we generally just publish images of Italian or French cars, Jonathan’s enthusiastic eye includes cars from Germany and Great Britain. And so a year late, we present Jonathan’s unpublished, more comprehensive look at the cars that attended last year’s FOS, so many that we had to break it up into two parts, cars A-I and L-V. Last week we published cars in alphabetical order A-I, and this week we wrap it up with L-V, below.
Last week a few of our readers complained that not all of the photos were downloading; we apologize, but the problem is usually with slow servers. Give them a chance to catch up with VT—not an easy task!
Also, be sure to read our short story on the crisis at Goodwood. When the majority of income that supports these events is derived from holding the events, ticket sales and sponsorships, the Covid-19 has a devastating negative impact.

much much thanks for these photos!
the Marcus should be Marcos, the
collaboration between Jem Marsh
and its designer – the great Frank Costin,
his first plywood moncoque project.
Thanks for catching that…it is a typo as we are well aware of the plywood wonder!
