Goodwood’s Tribute to the Queen

By

Story and photos by Jonathan Sharp

A very special event at Goodwood was a motoring tribute to compliment Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee. You won’t find an Italian or French car in the lot, but we think you’ll like this at any rate. Congratulations to the Earl of March for this historic and timely display. Also, thanks to that new guy we introduced last week, Jonathan Sharp for coming up with the most interesting and comprehensive explanation of the very special entries. [Ed.]

This being Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee, the theme chosen for this year’s Cartier “Style et Luxe” display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed was “Transport fit for a Queen”. The display featured cars that were either owned by or used by the Queen or other members of the Royal Family. The display also featured a Royal Train Carriage, children’s electric ride in toy cars and even an aeroplane. The displays, in five classes, were arranged on the grass in front of the stable yard of Goodwood House.
