Ferrari California (2008): more details
Wed, 25 Jun 2008By Ben Whitworth First Official Pictures 25 June 2008 14:01 Ferrari continues its tantalising drip feed of information and images on the new California, with new footage of the roof in action appearing on the car’s website (www.ferraricalifornia.com) today. The fully automatic electro-hydraulic folding metal roof is a two-piece unit that converts the coupe to convertible in just 14 seconds.

In pictures: backstage at 72nd Goodwood Members’ Meeting
Mon, 31 Mar 2014It was Glorious Goodwood on the last weekend of March, for Lord March’s latest classic motorsport event – the 72nd Goodwood Members’ Meeting. It’s one of only two race weekend to be held at the circuit since it reopened in the late 1990s: Lord March wants it to complement the world-famous September Goodwood Revival and become known as a classic in its own right. The difference here is that, as its name suggests, it’s a members-only event: only Goodwood Road Racing Club members can buy tickets.
