Wow to see that beautiful Ferrari just on the grass in the lux area, no barriers or minders, in stealth mode - just looking glorious. Immaculate doesn't do it justice...

So very glad he's happy to let the car be appreciated in such a way smile If I'd have been him I've have been like a cat on hot tiles every time anybody even glanced on it...

Sums up Goodwood for me - stunning car, relaxed attitude, respect from public, win all round.

You know I thought exactly the same thing!

I saw the car and was certain it was Chris Evans', (confirmed when I got home) but it was lovely that it was there, no barriers, and just free for people to appreciate. Really is utterly fantastic to allow people that opportunity.

I think the high ticket price is what means only genuine car enthusiasts go.

I really had to tear myself away from the Cartier display as it was an absolutely mouth watering plethora of automobiles, stunning. Just stunning.

I just wish I could've had another day to see everything frown

One of the reasons I liked this car so much were the stonechips on the leading edge,telling all it gets used and enjoyed,rather than just being a trailer queen.Beautiful and stunning,yes, but immaculate, nope.
