Bonhams at Goodwood. God save the King’s car

Despite the panic over the technical glitch that brought down the Bonhams Goodwood auction website in September, bidders in the room, together with those bidding over the phone, turned in a great result: the 74 cars sold represented 64.91% of the 114 on offer and in terms of value, they generated 68.22% of the original estimates – or rather £11,354,900 (€12,789,195) out of an overall offer value of £16,644,000 (€18,746,385).
