Kiwi Roger Wills at the wheel this time.

The car parks at the end of the day are interesting, even for post 1966 cars driving past.

This last one was a 275 GTB evocation on modern wheelbase. I don't know who builds it.
I checked on a UK database Remi, and it comes up as 1994 Ferrari. I was confused, as I thought it was a replica or recreation, but the UK no longer have a 'Tax Disc' on the screen, so it is often extremely difficult to establish what a car is.
I have got to the stage of effectively publishing a permanent disclaimer to the effect that any picture taken in recent times, may or may not be the real thing, a recreation or a replica. In NZ, it is generally quite easy, but in the UK or where you can't get close enough to have a good look, I can only make a best guess.
There were several 'AC Cobras' around with period number plates, but that is no guarantee of anything. Even on track, there are known recreations/replicas such as the Lancia Ferrari D50 - but they are never marked as such in the programme.
Even now, someone is building up an ERA out of genuine spares, so as they only built 17, one was destroyed, Tony Merrick created a recreation - AJM1 so there were still 17. That one is always entered as 'AJM1'
Even back in the late 1930s, the works were always swapping chassis, repairing chassis, supplying engines from 1100cc to blown 2 litre, so building one up from genuine spares means that very soon, there will be more ERA's than were built in period. Also in period, you got an ERA or two that was converted from B type to C or D type.
We already have R4A and R4D, plus R12b and R12C ("Hanuman 1 & Hanuman 2").
Found out it is a Bamford 275, based on the running gear of a Ferrari 456 GT.
Thanks Remi. So at least it is still a Ferrari!
Another real mix...
I love one offs almost as much as some of the iconic cars, whether they be single seaters or sports racing cars - or even sportscars. The JBW Maserati again. A car that was often in the Mallory Park programmes, but I have no recollection of ever actually seeing it in period.

Just quick break from Goodwood. TACCOC's Christmas meet on Sunday.
David Metford
Paul Madeley's Porsche Turbo first time out, second lap!
Neither the Arrow Wheels nor Muscle Cars/Saloons could muster 20 cars, which is a shame, especially with TACCOC's lowered entry fee.
Bruce Manon's Escort now has a new home and it looks as though Bruce may have joined those of us who have hung up our race helmets.

Looks like 2 Camaros have also got new homes.
Yes both the Ex USA A-Sedan Camaros have new homes.Originally Posted by John McKechnie
Glenn Allingham purchased the Ex Roger Williams 69 Camaro and Ritchie Malam purchased the Ex Steve Elliot 68 Camaro.
This was the first outings for these cars under their new ownership.
Glenn Allingham gave the car a good workout - recovering from a spin

More from Sunday:
Rogan's seatbelts were out of date, so was turned down at scrutineering...
Neil forgot his helmet and missed practice...
Michael's Crossle.
Often there is a car in the car park I haven't spotted before.
Great shots Ray
Back to Goodwood - still a few to go.
At 5pm, pre 1966 cars as far as the eye can see. Who knows what treasures there were hidden amongst that lot? Far too tired by then to walk up and down the rows, having been on my feet for the best part of 10 hours, carrying the camera and backpack.
Their Scarab failed so they nipped home and brought the Cooper Bristol instead!
