Bonhams’ record £6.1-million sale at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on 22 June 2007 is the best ever in the event’s 15-year history. It is the fourth most valuable motoring auction ever held in the UK.

The sale saw no fewer than 14 cars surpass £100,000, with top spot taken by the 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C-2300 Spider which realised a spectacular £1.4-million. In party atmosphere, six-hours of bidding saw 315 lots sold – many way above top estimate - for a grand total of £6,158,731. The auction’s sold-by-value result was no less than 96.2%.
