Shenanigans at Goodwood

Whereas the rest of the country grids to a halt at the merest flurry of snow, at Goodwood the show goes on.

Would there be racing in these conditions? Yessirreeee.
All except the bikers, they decided not to come out and play.

Bonhams had an auction on site. This car went for around £16k.

Some other E -Types made reasonable money, but some didn’t sell.

E-Types also raced, but had to be adapted to the conditions.

Geez, 16k for a nice e-type covered with its original barn dirt seems like a bargain. NOS barn dust sells for like 1k per bag.

Guess what I’ve been following on ebay for a year or so. Try that with e types!

Must consist mainly of petrified Grey Poupon mustard.

I take you haven’t read the description yet. And missed out on the best part! Hilarious and somehow I want it.

I just read it, and yes it is funny.

Sorta like an eBay listing for NOS Lucas wiring harness smoke injection kit. Replace the smoke lost from your old wiring harness with this smoke injector kit… IIRC, the kit was displayed on the bonnet of an E-Type.

And I was the high bidder…:wink:

Didn’t you include that with your Tweety sale? It seems like an essential spare.

Ah, the guy canceled the bid, because I was gunna use it in my DKW.

:wink:
