Goodwood Revival 2008 hosts £85m historic grid

By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 15 September 2008 12:14 This weekend’s Goodwood Revival 2008 is set to be the most expensive yet – the grid for the Royal Automobile Club TT Celebration race has been independently valued by Bonhams automotive auction house at an eye-watering £85 million. The valuation for the one-hour, two-driver race closed-cockpit GT cars – which originally took place at Goodwood between 1960 and 1964 – makes it the most expensive grid of historic racing cars ever to appear together in one race. Goodwood Revival 2008: the drivers' list Derek Bell, Martin Brundle, Patrick Tambay, Jean-Marc Gounon, Christian Horner, Richard Attwood and Jackie Oliver will take to the fast and tight circuit in some of the finest and most valuable GT racers ever produced.The list of entrants reads like a Who's Who of schoolboy fantasy garages, including the Ferrari 250 GT SWB, GTO and 330 LMB, AC Cobra and two original Shelby American Cobra Daytonas, an Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato and Project 214, plus the Lightweight Jaguar E-types.

Fiat set to grab 51 per cent of Chrysler

Sergio Marchionne wants majority at Chrysler What a difference a couple of years makes. On May Day in 2009 we reported that Chrysler had been put in to Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and the US Government was stepping in to ease the pain with $7.5 billion (admittedly at somewhat less than mates-rates) and that the management were ‘leaving the building’. Step forward Fiat to take up a 20% stake in Chrysler and Fiat boss, Sergio Marchionne, who planned to lead Chrysler away from the dark side and in to the light, with the promise of smaller and more efficient platforms and engines.
