Goodwood is delighted to announce that an important part of motor racing history, which has been saved from demolition and relocated to the Goodwood Motor Circuit, will be open for an exclusive preview at the 81st Members’ Meeting presented by Audrain Motorsport.

The ‘Tyrrell Shed’ is a 6m x 21m wooden building, whose humble exterior hides a remarkable history. Until 1976 it was home to Tyrrell Racing – one of the most groundbreaking Formula 1 teams of all time. Even after the team moved assembly of its cars into a purpose-built factory next door, the shed continued to serve a function, as a fabrication shop and then for storage. We are thrilled that the building has found a new, permanent home at the historic Goodwood Motor Circuit. Continue reading

In a segment from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week, the host and guest RuPaul discuss the cars they have a thing for now. Well guys, if you’re reading this, what are you waiting for?

For RuPaul: 1972 Chevrolet Corvette LS5

Presented in its original-paint Mille Miglia Red with a Saddle leather interior, this 1972 Corvette Coupe was completed on March 3, 1972 before being purchased from City Chevrolet in San Diego, California by an air force serviceman. It came equipped with nearly every option available in 1972 including power windows, air conditioning, tilt-telescopic steering column, rear window defroster, heavy-duty front and rear springs, power brakes, air injection reactor, F70 tires (now sporting BF Goodrich radials from 1973 with a color sales brochure), and an AM/FM stereo radio. It’s powered by a [stated] 270–hp 454 c.i. LS5 V8 mated to a desirable 4-speed wide-ratio gearbox and a 3.08:1 rear differential. The Corvette comes with an impressive collection of documents including a handwritten Bill of Sale, dealer type-written Bill of Sale, salesmen’s business card, original GM Tank stickers (the number of options required two) on the original fuel tank, two original GM No. 5 build sheets, two original GM No. 7 build sheets, original GM window sticker, original GM standard order copy (located under the gauge cluster), original GM Protecto Plate, and letters exchanged between the original buyer and the dealership. Now showing an impressive (documented) 5,202 miles, it’s listed on ACC Auctions by the selling dealer (County Corvette in West Chester, Pennsylvania), who recently acquired the car from the estate of the serviceman. Offers are being accepted on a first come/first serve basis or buy it now for ^$89,000.

For Stephen: 1979 Jeep Wagoneer Limited

Before the Range Rover was introduced in the US and well before the likes of Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW got in the game, the luxury SUV segment had but one player: The Jeep Wagoneer (later Grand Wagoneer) Limited. Distinguished by its upscale-for-the-’70s simulated woodgrain siding, it was also loaded with amenities like partial leather upholstery, power-adjustable bucket seats, power door locks, power windows, power disc brakes, tilt leather-wrapped steering wheel, and cruise control. It was powered by a 390-c.i. V8 driving four wheels through its standard (and innovative for its time) Quadra-Trac system. Despite a relatively high MSRP (^$10,500 in 1979 dollars), they were popular, with nearly 27,500 sold in 1979. They became enough of an icon that specialty restorers like Wagonmaster can now command well over six figures. This Wagoneer Limited, from AMC-era 1979 (first year of the square headlamps and “pig-nose” grille), has not been restored but remains exceptionally presentable in its original Bordeaux (9P) finish with a lustrous look to its “wood” grain. The interior also looks very well cared for with no visible signs of excessive wear, no tears in the upholstery, no cracks in the dash, no sagging headliner, and unblemished carpets. It was delivered new through a dealer in Jasper, Georgia to its first owner in Conyers, near Atlanta. It has amassed a respectable 65,800 miles since. Now fully serviced and thoroughly inspected, it is selling at no reserve on ACC Auctions with seven days left to bid.
