2026-06-04: Rare Ford GT40, Le Mans Corvette and DB4 GT Zagato offered for sale ...
Broad Arrow Private sales have been entrusted with this very early Ford GT40, which is offered from a single ownership of over 30 years. It was entered at Le Mans in 1965 by Ford Advanced Vehicles and was the first sport the definitive nose shape. It was later also used for extensive testing before it was sold. In subsequent ownership, it was loaned to the Midland Motor Museum before the current custodian acquired GT40P/1006 in 1993. We captured it at a very rare public appearance at the 2013 Goodwood Revival where it was raced by Henri Pescarolo in the Whitsun Trophy, which was reserved exclusively for Ford GT40s.Another Le Mans car that has made headlines over the last few years is this Chevrolet Corvette from 1960. It was entered at Le Mans that year by Briggs Cunningham and then changed several times before it disappeared from view in 1974. Fast forward to 2021 when it was acquired at auction in rather derelict condition by the Cunningham family. They had the ex-Le Mans comprehensively restored to its original configuration. Chassis 00867S103535 was then shown a variety of events. It is now consigned to the upcoming RM Sotheby's Monterey sale with a $2 - $2.5 million estimate. Also consigned to the Anglo-Canadian company's flagship auction is this very rare Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. One of just 19 built, this was the only one sold new to Australia. It remained 'Down Under' for three decades and in more recent years has been part of two prominent American collector. Regularly shown at events, DB4GT/0186/R was one of the four nominees of the coveted Pebble Beach 'Best of Show' in 2019. Due to be one of the absolute star cars, the DB4 GT Zagato should sell for well over $12 million. |

This weekend, all eyes will be on Monaco for the annual Formula 1 Grand Prix. We already visited the Principality earlier this year to capture the 15th edition of the Monaco Historic Grand Prix. The biennial event celebrates the rich history of the most prestigious Grand Prix on the calendar. It uses the very same challenging street circuit and is open to competition cars of a type that raced at Monaco between 1929 and 1985. The entry list is split in eight different grids with seven reserved for Grand Prix cars and the eighth to celebrate the unique 1952 Monaco Grand Prix that was run for sports cars. New for this year's edition was the addition of turbo-engined cars to the final grid on the roster. Even though only one had been used for historic racing, and only once, five of the highly anticipated turbo cars were entered. Among the other stand-out cars were the very rare H16-engined BRM, the one-off Lancia Marino and the 1968 French Grand Prix winning Ferrari 312/68 F1 that was reunited with its original driver Jackie Ickx for demonstration runs. At the sharp end of the fields, there was some fantastic racing as the tight and twisty track really requires a skilled hand.As always, we explored the streets of Monaco to capture the event in its entirety. The result is this detailed report and class-by-class 180-shot gallery. |

2026-05-28: All-new Ferrari Luce, Mercedes-AMG GT and most powerful Emira yet ...
At a special earlier this week, Ferrari revealed the all-new Luce. The very first all-electric Ferrari represents a break with tradition in more ways than one. It was styled by industrial designers Jony Ive and Marc Newson, who started with a clean slate. Underneath the striking body panels, the Luce is also a technological tour de force with 60 patents filed during the engineering process. It features electric motors in each of the four wheels for a combined power of 1,035 bhp. Created to appeal a new niche of the market, Ferrari's four-door battery electric vehicle is priced at well over $600,000.With 1,153 bhp maximum power output, the latest Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupe boasts similar figures as the Luce. This power is produced by three electric motors, one on the front axle and two on the rear. The four-door coupe also has futuristic styling with a particularly interesting rear-end. Compared to the other two cars announced this week, the Lotus Emira 420 Sport is refreshingly old-school. Powered by the familiar turbocharged Mercedes-AMG four-cylinder engine, it is both more powerful at 414 bhp and 25 kg lighter than the existing Emira models. The Emira 420 Sport also introduces a removable hard-top that will be available as an option on the complete Emira range. |

Goodwood kicked off the busy 2026 motorsport season with the 83rd Members' Meeting earlier this year. A relatively recent addition to the calendar, it is a more laidback event that still uses the iconic Goodwood Motor Circuit but without the strict cut-off dates of the Revival.

The two other chassis used that year were also in the paddock, marking the first time they were together since that fabulous season. Additional demonstrations featured the iconic Super Touring cars of the 1990s and a celebration of the 50th anniversary of James Hunt's 1976 Formula 1 World Championship.Enjoying the lovely spring weather, we were on hand to capture the 83rd Goodwood Members' Meeting from start to finish. The result is this concise report, illustrated by a class-by-class 150-shot gallery. |
