2010 Goodwood Revival RAC TT
Watch this. It is mandatory. Mr. Old Valves tells you to.
Where else can you see 5 to 20 million dollar cars racing as flat out as they can, when they’re only half a dozen of a particular car left on the planet, just for the sake of reviving the magic of the 60’s, when money didn’t matter?
I had never seen a Ferrari 250 GTO racing as hard as this. Only in the rare footage I find of the 60’s Targa Florio, here and there, obviously. There is a lot of will power in Goodwood Revival, and that’s just proper racing philosophy.
This makes me smile a lot. One more reason to love Nick Mason, actually.
AC 428 Convertible (1967)
A good V8 and decent suspension settings made the (quite rare) 428 a very reasonable performer on the road and at the track. Only 29 were known to be built.

AC Ace RS 2.6 (1961)
Power came from the Ford Zephyr MKII, but AC’s customers could order their Aces with different power outputs. The top of the line (called Stage 3) featured triple Webber carburettors developing a maximum of 170bhp.
Contemporary Cobra - Replica:Fiberglass, but copied from a real Cobra they own. Jaguar XKE front suspension, Jaguar rear. I wonder what happened to the XKEs the parts came from? Buyer chooses engine, so not really an exact replica, but just looks like a Cobra. I think this company had a pretty good reputation in a field of many Cobra imitations.
