Goodwood: Festival of Speed (PT1)

Postby TSC. » Sat Jul 08, 2006 5:18 am

Hi all,

Got back late last night from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, so I thought I'd post you a few shots this morning. There was so much to see & so many cars I didn't get pictures of.

We hadn't even got to Goodwood before we spotted this little number at the service station on the way:

Lamborghini Muira concept car:

Rather cool Ferrari Enzo GT car:

& the ever popular GT40:

Cheers,

TSC.

I've just had another look at the pic Ozzy & I now think it's one of the rarer GT43's - look at the bubble above the drivers seat.

Cheers,

But I haven't seen what pics my mate took yet, so fingers crossed.

 The Gurney Bubble.

 The lines of the GT40 have to make it one of the most beautiful cars of all time!!  ( That's my opinion )

Did they really call it the GT43 because the bubble made the car 3" taller?
