New Photos of Goodwood’s Festival of Speed

Nice to see on the track: The Ferrari 166MM 212 Uovo

By Jonathan Sharp

Last year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, held on July 6-7, Jonathan Sharp decided to concentrate on photographing the drivers, and created an unprecedented look at the champions who attended the event. This incredible gallery can be seen here. Ironically, the last photo was of Arturo Merzario walking away, and we said, ‘Til next year, Arturo…” We didn’t know at the time there would be no next year.

But our intrepid reporter also 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 And so a year late, we present Jonathan’s unpublished, more comprehensive look at the cars that attended last year’s FOS, so many that we had to break it up into two parts, cars A-I and L-V. We hope that there will be a next year as brilliant and star studded as that in 2019.

Abarth SE027, one of the very last Abarths.

Far removed from the road car you could buy, the Alfa Romeo 155 DTM was four wheel drive and its 2.5 Litre V6 produced up to 500 bhp at 12,000 rpm.

Aston Martin Project cars

An angle rarely seen…

Aston Martin Project-212

Aston Martin Project 214

This Aston Martin 11HP was one of two cars entered in the 1922 French Grand Prix and driven by Count Louis Zborowski. When the magneto failed he was running in 6th place. In 1923 it became the first Aston Martin sold when Mrs Marion Agnew purchased it and proceeded to campaign it around Europe, christening the Aston Martin “Green Pea”.
