The Bonhams auction house is already an integral part of the Goodwood Revival and the Goodwood Festival of Speed, so it probably makes sense to complete the trio and organize another auction at the 73rd Members' Meeting in March 2015.
On March 21, 2015, around 50 to 80 vehicles will line up and the first of these cars has already been announced. It is a Frazer Nash Le Mans Coupé from 1955, which competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans of the same year.
The car was ordered by Mrs. Kitty Maurice of Castle Combe (Wiltshire) in April 1955 and shortly afterwards the Frazer Nash was transported to France, where it was to be used as a support vehicle for Archibald Frazer-Nash.
In 1959, John Dashwood and Bill Wilks drove the car, but Dashwood ended up in the sand at Arnage after three hours.
The Frazer Nash was then also seen at some of the Members' Meetings on the Goodwood Circuit, and the car is now to be auctioned for £600,000 to £700,000.
The 73rd Members' Meeting goes back to a racing tradition that was organized by the British Automobile Racing Club from 1949 to 1966.
Further information on the Bonhams auction on March 21, 2015, which will also include a Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth looking for a new owner, can be found on the Bonhams website.
