The winning Mini - Nick Swift/Andrew Jordan. I think the weird paint scheme was possibly a kid's competition winner's idea. The wing was removed for the race!

Note the bonnet colour...

The bonnet flew up in practice, so they 'borrowed' the one from the BMW display car.

I'm not a huge fan of two wheelers, but I know some on here are, so no apologies for posting a few, taken on this last trip. The slightly more unusual.

The Lotus 23 b (?) is now for sale, a mere £79k. I know it's a 23, but is it a b?

No idea Rhys!

Goodwood stands had several 'specials' and replicas and I merely snapped as I walked past, so some may be original cars and some may well be recreations or replicas. This I believe is a Bentley based special.

So what was the TecMec (Corvette engined) that Rod Coppins entered the 1962 and 1963 NZIGP with but did not qualify for either race?

This is from Terry Collier's book on the NZ Maseratis.

Thanks for that Milan. On another note has anyone ever sorted out the true 250F chassis number saga?

If you can find a copy of this book, you will have what is almost certainly the best explanation of the 250F chassis number saga.

Milan, thanks, and I was wandering through TRS [ some of the archive - old stuff ] this evening and came across a thread from 2011 with Nigel Watts photos on the Maserati 250F a couple of photos with Chris Amon driving one,in more recent years, not in period.

Thread number #188 this one " http://www.theroaringseason.com/showthr ... erati-250F "

Cheers Guys,
Roger

RIP David McKinney, RIP Chris Amon, and RIP Ross Jensen.

One of the reasons I was determined to get to Goodwood this year, was the celebration of BRM's 70 years. Dad was fiercely patriotic and backed ERA before the war and BRM after, and I suppose I inherited my love of both from him. Being named after Raymond Mays may also have had a lot to do with it.

The BRM parade included several cars with BRM engines in addition to examples of most models including the Hall & Hall 2021 BRM V16.

The fearsome 8 litre BRM P154 sports restored by the Hepworths.
