Built to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Pininfarina design house, the Ferrari 599 S.A. Aperta (named to honour company patriarchs Sergio and Andrea Pininfarina) was limited to 80 examples, all of which were already sold ahead of its official debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show.
We’ve selected our 12 favourites below, but you can view the full automotive potpourri that is the 180-lot Hershey auction here – one that also includes a few Chris Craft Runabouts for good measure.
The phrase ‘only at Goodwood’ has become something of a cliché, but even before entering the confines of the historic circuit, it’s easy to see why. Revival-fever was rife as soon as you got to the car parks, with the pre-66 area a spectacle in itself – a beyond-patinated Porsche 356 and the famous Bentley R-Type 6½-Litre Petersen Special our personal favourites.
During the week, Tim is a designer for a major European manufacturer; in his spare time, he uses that eye for detail to take some fantastic pictures. As such, Tim was one of several photographers hired by Goodwood to capture the action at the 2014 Revival; here are his favourite shots…

Two pre-War delights spearheaded the £15.4m sale, earning two World Record results in the process. The Lagonda LG45R Rapide – billed by Bonhams as “arguably the most visibly recognisable pre-War sports-racing car” – fetched a bang-on-estimate £1,569,500, while the fabulous, Mille Miglia class-winning OM 665 SS MM Superba realised an impressive £1,255,900 (estimate: £800,000-950,000).
Whether you were unlucky enough to be otherwise engaged during Revival weekend – or were there, but simply overwhelmed by the sights, smells, sounds and styles – Amy's gallery provides another viewpoint from which to absorb the action. Enjoy!
