Last week, Jonathan Sharp showed us all the neat Italians and French cars at the Goodwood Members’ Meeting, held on a cold March 18-19. This week, the rest of the cast.
It is hard to believe, but the 75th Members’ Meeting was the 47th motor sport event held at Goodwood since the first Festival of Speed It was also the first event to be held since the death of John Surtees who had been a staunch supporter of the Goodwood events since the first event back in 1993.
