Goodwood highlights; Porsche 936, Aston Martin Ulster and new British sports cars ...

Among the absolute highlights at the Goodwood Festival of Speed was the celebration of Derek Bell's fabulous career on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the first of his five Le Mans wins. He won for a second time in the Porsche 936 in 1981. The actual winning car was brought to Goodwood, which allowed us to complete our gallery, which now has action shots of the three examples raced to a Le Mans victory each by the factory team and also the two cars built for Joest and Kremer. The 131-shot gallery serves to illustrate a very comprehensive article about this endurance racing legend.
Also making headlines at Goodwood was the Aston Martin Ulster we featured a few weeks ago. In particular chassis LM19, which was sold for a record-breaking GBP 2.9 million. We have also expanded our gallery with images of chassis B5/549/U, which was one of the participants in the hill climb.
As always, the Festival of Speed featured the dynamic debut of a wide variety of machines, including several British sports cars. Although already seen last year, we got a better look at the unusual Arash AF8, which is now ready to enter production. Aston Martin Lagonda ltd. was very strongly represented at Goodwood and among the company's debuts was the very exclusive Lagonda Taraf luxury saloon. Initially only destined for the Middle East, it has more recently been announced that it will also be available in the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of McLaren's debut victory at Le Mans, the British manufacturer has created the McLaren 650S Le Mans. Only 50 examples will be built of this special edition. The Festival of Speed was also the first opportunity to see the fifth generation Morgan Aero 8 in motion.
