Ferrari 250GT SWB 'Breadvan': Time For Tea?
A trio of incredible car, setting and driving make, unsurprisingly, for an incredible video
The Goodwood Revival is over for another year, and once again it provided a fantastic weekend of unparalleled classic motorsport. The jewel in the crown of 2018's event was the Kinrara Trophy; billed a the world's most valuable race thanks to a grid worth over £200 million, it more than lived up to expectations.
As the sun set over the former RAF airfield, the field of Ferraris, Aston Martins, Jaguars and the like provided the sort of spectacle that Revival dreams are made of. Aside from an incredibly close call caused by a spinning DB5, the highlight of the race was undoubtedly the battle for first between Emanuele Pirro and Niklas Halusa in the 250GT SWB 'Breadvan' and Jon Minshaw and Phil Keen in an E-Type.
Trading places again and again they ensured a thrilling conclusion to the first major race of the weekend. Unfortunately, the creators of the Goodwood highlights video have opted for backing music over the symphony of engines which accompanied the race, so below we have both the key action from the Kinrara, and a less edited on-board account which focuses on the battle for first place. Enjoy!

He was a parent at the school where I work and came in and did a work experience talk to the 6th form about his life as a racing driver (hilarious)
I am really intrigued to find out more about the car and the time it raced in silver livery around where I live (Castelli Romani south of Rome) on the Coppa Gallenga.
My biggest suprise for my first revival was how fierce all the racing was - no quarter was given and plenty of jaw-dropping stuff. Then you think about how rare some of the cars are, and how much they’re worth.
But the highlight had to be Troy Corser ragging his 1926 BMW KSS in the Barry Sheene TT race.
