Old Aston is good Aston

On the rainy fourth and final day of the I did one of my favorite things: take a gander at the . Yeah, there’s loads of cool metal running up the hill faster than Kate Bush, but there’s also a ton of good stuff parked up outside. Here’s a selection of what I found in a couple of the various spots around the festival. Oh, and one thing I can’t ID, so... commenters get your nerd knowledge ready.

A pair of ’. I’d take the one on the left obviously, because V8 wagon.

I’m not sure about the sun shade (or it was really needed), but this ‘ was MINT.

A Donkervoort D8 GTO. The Netherlands’ own take on the Caterham/Lotus Seven, this time with an Audi 2.5 liter turbo five under the hood. Must have been fun in the wet.

A knackered old Peugeot 205 on French plates. Peak French chod right there. Excellent.

The is aging WELL.

Gen 1 Honda Insights are a rare spot. Cool one though. Note the exact polar opposite, an Audi RS 6, parked just ahead.

This is the thing I can’t ID. Anyone got any ideas?

Anyone for drifting?

Defender—easily one of the worst cars you can drive, but also one of the best things in the world ever. A troubling dissonance.

There was even some old American metal there. I wasn’t sure whether this Pontiac Starfire was deliberately ratlook or falling apart. Cool though.

There’s no way this is a legit Aston Martin DBR 1, but this replica’s owner wins huge points for driving it through a downpour to get it to the show.

Not quite in a parking lot, but hidden off to the side: A Renault Clio V6 Mk II. I mean, who doesn’t want a 3.0 liter V6 in place of their rear seats? Mega thing.

Alfa Spider. Inject it in to my veins.

It wouldn’t be a decent Goodwood car park without a 993 generation 911 looking all cool in a corner, would it?
