The Goodwood Revival undoubtedly provides the perfect backdrop for auctioning off English luxury classics and historic racing cars. Bonhams is offering both in large numbers at the Goodwood Revival Auction on September 18. Of the 84 cars to go under the hammer, 62 are from an English marque.
Bentley and Lagonda have the largest number of cars on offer, with ten each, although the latter have cheated a little by offering four cars of the same type. However, there is a reason for this: the four 2-liter "Low Chassis" Tourers are the works racing cars that took part in the 1929 24 Hours of Le Mans and finished first, second, third and sixth in their class. They are estimated at GBP 200,000 to 300,000, with only lot number 258, driven at the time by Frank King and Howard Wolfe, fetching GBP 300,000 to 400,000.
The third most popular brand is Rolls-Royce with eight vehicles, which also has the oldest car at the event with a 40/50 HP Silver Ghost Pall Mall Tourer from 1923. The youngest car, meanwhile, pretends to be from the thirties: the Royale Coupé was built in 2017 and quotes elements of the Bugatti Atlantic. It is priced at GBP 75,000 to 85,000.
In total, a good GBP 15,000,000 is expected for all vehicles, resulting in a comparatively low average value for this type of event of just under GBP 182,000 per car. The cheapest vehicle at Goodwood is a 1951 Renault 4CV Grand Luxe, for which between GBP 15,000 and 17,000 is expected. However, this offers the chance of a bargain, as the cream slice and 16 other lots are being offered without a reserve price.
Curiously, the most expensive car in the auction is likely to be a replica. What looks like a Jaguar D-Type from 1956 under lot number 268 is actually a replica from 1980, but is expected to fetch between GBP 900,000 and 1,200,000. The racing Jaguar is one of the younger vehicles in the field, with an average age of 65 years.
While German luxury models usually make up a not insignificant proportion of auctions, the Mercedes and Porsche offerings at Goodwood are surprisingly small. Only a 230 SL from 1965 (GBP 60,000 to 80,000) carries the good star to Goodwood. Only a 964 Carrera RS Coupé, a 993 Turbo Coupé and a 944 S2 Cabriolet come from Zuffenhausen.
The two youngest German participants come from Bavaria: two BMW Z8s, one as a production model, the other as an Alpina Roadster.
Three American-European hybrids also offer V8 power of a different kind. An Iso Grifo 7.4 and a Jensen FF, both from 1971, as well as a 1963 Facel Vega Facel II. The Frenchman is the most expensive of them at GBP 210,000 to 260,000.
The Ford Cortina Lotus Mk 1 with the DOHC engine from the Lotus Elan is a very special, purely English hybrid. The beauty of this Lotus-Cortina is that, unlike many of its brothers, it was not prepared for historic races, but is still in a simple road configuration with steel wheels and chrome hubcaps. Between GBP 40,000 and 50,000 is expected for the white limousine with the distinctive green stripe.
