Except the Speed 12...

Would have thought at least the Sag's would qualify ...all 911 variants are eligible this year (as a birthday treat)

Here the official list:

http://www.goodwood.co.uk/downloads/grrc-docs/2013...

So there's the challenge for the new owner...Build a car that Goodwood will allow in the carpark!!!

That's a very strange list.

If you take the list literally, even the Veyron isn't a supercar.

I think that, and all other Tvr's must be part of a far more exclusive list.

What a bizarre list. I don't really consider TVRs to be supercars but the list there reads like one person's list of likes and dislikes. It's completely random. Why for example is a DB7 Vantage less worthy than a 4.3 V8 Vantage? It's not because of value because R8s are allowed yet an RS6 isn't.

It's just an arbitary list of some knob's opinions.

Mark.

I agree it is a really quite random list.

But I guess it's Lord March's playground and he can do just as he likes or he'll take his ball away.

It does say to email them if you've been missed out.

Sponsor/exhibitor demands. That list has nothing to do with reality.

When TVR is back and exhibiting, they'll be on the list.

Dear Sirs,

I hope you do not object to me pointing out that you have accidentally omitted the last English supercar built from your list of terribly exciting foreign built, owned or powered exotica.

I look forward to your correction.

Yours faithfully etc.

Just looks like a list of mostly "interesting"/rare (ish) cars, although I expect they will be overwhelmed by einen tidal wave of 911s hehe

Knowing Goodwood and the people that organise it, it will be exactly that ! one person sat around making a list that that one person likes.

I assume that if I ask it would. These lists come about normally by clubs and individuals making requests not by an individual drawing it up.

The list says...

Bugatti ANY POST-WAR MODEL

Was the Veyron PRE War?......I think it qualifies....when I first read your post I thought maybe they considered it was more a HYPERcar than a super car.
