Despite living only a short drive from Goodwood, I've only been to the Revival once. Old cars - not really my thing.

I'd have been straight on the phone to the editor if you'd got less than 100%, Chris!

I also got 100% but then I don't know anything significant about anything in the world except old racing cars.

70%! Drogo mix-up and I thought it was an Alta rather than the Era.

UNFORGIVEABLE given that I spent three days there and had a paddock pass.

R11B is unusual as it has a different tail to the other ERAs. That must be what confused you

Booya! 100%. They're all beautiful

I got lucky, a couple of 50:50s and I could have been down at 40%.

Been to Goodwood once for the festival of speed. You lucky to live close by!

80%, couple of ferraris had me stumped.

Also has anyone ever seen a photo of a Lotus Cortina with both front wheels on the ground at the same time? I'm starting to think they've all got bent chassis'.

Brands Hatch, a couple of weekends ago:





But they're all parked on uneven ground, so difficult to prove your theory one way or the other.

Yeah, got 'em all, but surely the first one is a 3000CM - it's certainly not a flying saucer...

[steviegunn]

90% I know nothing about pre war cars.

[Phil Dicky]

70% on multiple guess

[DHE]

90%, guessed 250 LM instead of 250 GTO/64.

Easily done. Enzo was p***ed that the 250LM was refused homologation for GT racing, and probably had a good point, since the Aston Martin "Project" cars were allowed in, when they were pretty far removed from the DB4GT.

So the GTO was updated with a new body which was a sort of front-engined 250LM. They were usually still too good for the Jags and Astons, but along came a 10-yr old British roadster stuffed with a Yank lump, and life changed for Maranello.
