Goodwood 360

Last night I attended the Rolls Royce event to launch the extended length Ghost.  The additional 17 centimetres has been introduced to cater for the Chinese market, who prefer to ride in the back of their vehicles as opposed to European clients who prefer to drive.

What a fantastic event it was though, on show were the best of the best including one of the 100 anniversary cars, the electric Phantom and a beautiful drop head Phantom which sold (SGD1.9m)

Sadly I'm not in the market for one of the Goodwood produced models, but looking online I see that the predessor to the Phantom, the Seraph can be bought for under 30,000 pounds in the UK.  That's a lot of car for the money.  Probably a terrible investment though!

How about then a 1990 Silver Spirit for 10,000 pounds? 

However it has to be said that they would not be a patch on the post 2003 cars made in Goodwood - the perfect blend of German engineering and British design, craftsmanship and individual design.
