A rare 1962 Aston Martin DB4 SS Vantage Convertible will lead the Bonhams Goodwood Revival 2026 sale on Saturday September 19, 2026, carrying a pre-sale estimate of £700,000-£900,000. It’s one of two DB4s in the auction, but there’s a wide spread of cars – including a Group C Nissan and a DTM Mercedes-Benz among the racing machinery highlights.
The collection spans road and competition models from across the collector car spectrum – from pre-war to modified Toyota Supras. There’s also a Ewan McGregor-owned Ford Mustang convertible. We’ve picked out ten of our favourites – what’s currently piquing your interest?
We start with this Maranello machine. This right-hand-drive 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS, chassis 06628, is finished in yellow with black trim and has had five owners from new. It was first registered to Blackway Ltd of London on August 28, 1973 and has remained in its current ownership since December 1984.
The owner bought the car through Straight Six in Edgware for £15,000. It was subsequently stored with The Doune Collection in Perthshire and used only infrequently between 1985 and 2000. After an exhaust-valve failure, the engine was rebuilt in 1985 at a cost of around £6500, although further work was subsequently required from Deutsche Tune Ltd in Glasgow. Moto Technique took over the model’s upkeep from 1990, carrying out a cosmetic restoration for approximately £22,000 and rebuilding the engine again in 1991 at a cost of £12,000.
The Dino was later placed in professional storage with Carlines of Slinfold, West Sussex, where it has remained. Bonhams states that the car continued to receive regular servicing and was used mainly for occasional European tours. Recorded services include work by Moto Technique in 2010 and SMDG Ferrari Specialists in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2021, and the Dino has covered. 87,743 miles. It is estimated at between £300,000 and £350,000.
This 1936 Aston Martin 2-Litre Speed Model, chassis L6/713/U, is one of 15 examples built and retains matching chassis and engine numbers. Its competition history includes ownership by TASO Mathieson, an entry in the 1948 Spa 24 Hours, later Historic competition use and subsequent past ownership by Pink Floyd drummer and noted collector Nick Mason.
Originally completed as a 2/4-seater in December 1936, the car was acquired after around 12,000 miles by Mathieson, who had it prepared for racing with bodywork from a 1½-litre Aston Martin Ulster. He campaigned it in Continental events during 1938, and the car later received a third-class award in the 1939 Junior Car Club Rally. In 1948 it was entered in the Spa 24 Hours for Jack Fairman and Richard Stallebrass. Fairman completed the opening stint in heavy rain before handing over to Stallebrass, who was fatally injured shortly after rejoining the race. The Aston Martin was subsequently rebuilt, re-registered as JAB 8 and campaigned through the 1950s and into the 1960s by R Chamberlain.
Nick Mason acquired the car in 1978 and commissioned Morntane Engineering to restore it, including fitting Ulster-style bodywork. The restoration was later completed by the same business after it became Ecurie Bertelli. The current owner acquired the car in 1992 and has used it in sprints, hill climbs and other sporting events. More recent work has included a replacement cylinder head supplied by Ecurie Bertelli and gas-flowed, overhaul of the magneto and water pump, and carburettor modifications for modern unleaded fuel. It is estimated at between £500,000 and £600,000.
This Jordan-Ford 191, chassis 191/3, was raced primarily by Andrea de Cesaris during Jordan Grand Prix’s debut Formula 1 season in 1991. Its results included fourth places in the Canadian and Mexican Grands Prix and sixth at the French Grand Prix, giving it three World Championship points-scoring finishes during a season in which Jordan placed fifth in the Constructors’ Championship.
Chassis 191/3 made its race debut at Imola, where de Cesaris retired with a gearbox problem, and subsequently served as the team’s spare car at Monaco. At the Canadian Grand Prix de Cesaris qualified 11th and finished fourth, with team-mate Bertrand Gachot fifth, scoring Jordan’s first Formula 1 World Championship points. De Cesaris finished fourth again in Mexico and sixth at Magny-Cours before the car suffered rear-suspension failure and crashed at the British Grand Prix. It was subsequently retired from frontline competition.
The Jordan-Ford 191 was acquired directly from Eddie Jordan in 1992 and has remained with the same owner since. Bonhams states that it has remained essentially in its 1991 condition, having been repaired to show-car specification after its final race appearance. It is currently presented in Jordan’s 7UP livery but does not have its Ford HB V8 engine installed. It is accompanied by a complete gearbox, side radiators, dampers, brake discs and calipers, instruments and numerous other original components. It is estimated at between £350,000 and £525,000.
This 1982 Jaguar 4.2-Litre Owen Sedanca Coupé, chassis 28749, is one of only a handful constructed. The design originated with HR Owen in the 1970s and was created by Chris Humberstone, with the original prototype using hand-formed aluminium coachwork by Williams & Pritchard over Jaguar XJ6 mechanicals. Bonhams states that two prototypes were initially completed before the project was revived privately in the late 1970s or early 1980s for a further two cars, although some accounts suggest only three were built in total.
The Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust certificate accompanying this example records its donor car as a right-hand-drive 4.2-litre automatic XJ6 manufactured in September 1972. It is one of the later Sedancas and incorporates revisions made after the original prototype; it’s now finished in metallic blue with a matching blue interior. Its wedge-shaped four-seat hatchback body incorporates pop-up headlamps, a double rollover structure, rubber bumpers and tubular side-impact protection within the doors. Offered at no reserve, it is estimated at between £35,000 and £55,000.
This 1960 Lotus Type 14 Series 1 Elite, chassis 1182, was supplied new to Team Lotus driver Innes Ireland as part of his agreement with the factory for the 1960 season. Ireland did not race the car, but retained it until selling it to Tom Threlfall in 1962.
Threlfall prepared the Elite for competition, uprating its Coventry Climax FWE engine to Stage 3 specification and subsequently modifying the suspension, exhaust and intake system. He raced it in British and Continental events including the Brussels and Spa Grands Prix, Snetterton and the RAC Tourist Trophy at Goodwood. Period results included second in class at Snetterton, third in class at both Brussels and Spa, and a finish in the 1962 Tourist Trophy. The car’s history is supported by correspondence from Threlfall describing its competition preparation and period use.
He recalled that the Elite remained on its original Lotus-built glassfibre body, and considered it stronger and better handling than some contemporary factory examples. He sold it after retiring from racing in the mid-1960s. More recently, chassis 1182 underwent a two-year ground-up restoration by Hawker Racing of Milden, Suffolk, completed around 2021. Bonhams states that the Elite has seen little use since, and invoices for the work accompany the car. It is estimated at between £75,000 and £100,000.
Now for the first of the DB4s in the Bonhams Goodwood Revival 2026 sale. This 1961 Aston Martin DB4 Series III, chassis DB4/718/R, was delivered new to Castrol Limited’s Marylebone Road headquarters in London on July 27, 1961. The accompanying factory guarantee records its original specification as Snow Shadow Grey with dark blue Connolly leather, together with a heated rear window, twin Marchal foglamps and a Motorola radio. It was registered 7727 JW, the initials referring to Castrol senior director John Windridge.
Aston Martin had entered into a sponsorship agreement with Castrol in 1960, and factory records show that the DB4 saw extensive use during its early years, with maintenance at Newport Pagnell continuing until 1970. It subsequently passed to enthusiast Ronald Rawden of Middleton, Suffolk, who rebuilt the engine himself with assistance and parts supplied by Aston Martin. During his ownership the car was registered 1 EXL. The next documented owner was KW Robbins of Madrid, Spain, who acquired the car in August 1985. It is believed to have been exported to the US shortly afterwards, where it later disappeared from public view before emerging in California in 2014 as a restoration project.
Fiskens acquired the DB4 that year and sold it to the current owner, who commissioned Trinity Engineering to undertake a complete restoration. Beginning in around February 2018, the work returned the car to its original specification apart from the addition of overdrive, with expenditure exceeding £300,000. Bonhams states that the restoration extended to details including the original-style radiator blind, with around 30 pages of documentation accompanying the car. It is estimated at between £350,000 and £400,000.
This 2000 Mercedes-Benz CLK DTM, chassis RS00-001, was the HWA factory test and development car for Mercedes-Benz’s return to the DTM that season. Although it did not race in period, Bonhams states that it was driven in testing by several of the Works drivers, including Bernd Schneider, Klaus Ludwig, Tomas Jäger and Marcel Fässler.
Following its development role, the car was sold by HWA to Brazilian businessman, racer and collector Alcides Diniz, who used it principally at his private Autódromo Capuava circuit. Its only recorded race came in the 2006 Mil Milhas at Interlagos, where Tony Kanaan, Raul Boesel and Pedro Lamy drove it to second place. After Diniz’s death later that year, RS00-001 passed to a European collector and has since been used at track days.
It has also previously been invited to the Goodwood Festival of Speed and the Supercar Driver Secret Meet. The CLK is presented in D2 livery and has recently received a workshop refresh and airfield shakedown by Sporting & Historic Car Engineers in the UK. It is accompanied by various spares and an additional set of wheels. It is estimated at between £220,000 and £280,000 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival 2026 sale.
This 1922 Rolls-Royce 40/50hp Silver Ghost, chassis 41SG, was ordered by Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji, the shipping magnate, socialite and philanthropist who divided his time between India and Britain. Factory chassis records show that the car was off test on December 23, 1921.
The chassis cards are marked ‘India’, although service records place the car at Rolls-Royce’s Cricklewood depot in 1926 and 1929 and at the factory in 1931. During World War Two it was recorded in the ownership of the Windsor Corporation Air Raids Precautions Department. The Rolls-Royce was originally bodied by Hooper as a limousine. It has subsequently been rebodied with the replica boat-tail tourer body it carries today. Bonhams states that the bodywork has been completed, although further work is required to finish the restoration. The Silver Ghost is estimated at between £80,000 and £120,000.
This Nissan P35, chassis P35-02, was built by Nissan Performance Technology Inc in the US as part of the company’s intended 1993 endurance-racing programme. Although extensively tested in development, it never raced in period after Nissan cancelled the project amid the collapse of the World Sportscar Championship and its withdrawal from prototype racing.
P35-02 was one of the first two cars built with a hybrid aluminium monocoque incorporating carbon-composite rollover and seat-back structures. Development testing took place at circuits including Mid-Ohio and Daytona, with Bob Earl carrying out much of the driving and Johnny O’Connell also involved. The car is presented in the visual specification proposed for Nissan’s 1993 IMSA GTP programme. Its original 3.5-litre Nissan VRT35 V12 is no longer fitted. After enthusiast Chris Randall acquired the car in 2002, it underwent a long-term restoration that was ultimately completed to running condition by Phil Stott Motorsport.
In 2020 a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated Menard Competition Technologies V12, engine number 717-013, was sourced for the project. Engine Developments Ltd/Judd rebuilt the MCT unit and modified the installation, starter arrangement and gearbox interface to suit the P35. The powerplant had originally been designed for the Panoz DP09 Superleague Formula car and is not period-correct for the Nissan, but has enabled P35-02 to return to running order. The car has subsequently been dyno tested with this engine installed. It is estimated at between £400,000 and £500,000 at the Bonhams Goodwood Revival 2026 sale.
This 1962 Aston Martin DB4 Series IV Vantage Convertible, chassis DB4C/1072/R, is one of 70 DB4 Convertibles built and one of 30 Series IV examples. It was specified from new with the higher-output Special Series, or Vantage, engine and remained with its first owner’s family for 50 years.
The car was first registered on October 15, 1962 to RT Gwynn, then managing director of FW Woolworth. Its history file includes the original order form and correspondence between Gwynn and supplying dealer Brooklands of Bond Street, together with letters from Aston Martin’s John Wyer. The original purchase price was just over £4513. The family retained the Aston Martin until 2012, when the current owner bought it at Bonhams’ Aston Martin Works Service sale.
The DB4 was subsequently entrusted to Pugsley & Lewis for a comprehensive restoration between 2012 and 2015, with invoices exceeding £300,000. The work included body repairs and repainting, rechroming, rebuilding the gearbox and overdrive, and enlarging the engine to 4.2 litres with modifications for unleaded fuel. Further upgrades included a high-torque starter, Dynalite alternator, Harvey Bailey front anti-roll bar and uprated brake calipers, while the hood and interior were retrimmed.
It is presented in its original Black Pearl metallic colour scheme with grey Connolly leather and a black roof. The odometer recorded around 74,000 miles when restoration began and stood at 75,335 miles in August 2026. West Hoathly Garage has maintained the car since 2018, carrying out a 6000-mile service and MoT in August 2026. It is estimated at between £700,000 and £900,000.
