Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 brings hypercars to the fore, with a rare chance to acquire a one-of-275 Mercedes-Benz AMG One bolstered with the likes of a Bugatti Veyron and a Jaguar XJ220.
Held during the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 11, the auction sees several important racing cars up for grabs, including an ex-Colin McRae MG Metro 6R4. We’ve picked out ten of our favourites – what do you have your eye on?
This 1983/2004 Ford C100 MkIII is the last chassis from the ill-fated Ford Group C programme. Designed by Tony Southgate, it would be the first sight of the construction techniques that he would use in his next project, Jaguar’s XJR Group C programme. Assembled and tuned by Bryan Wingfield, the Ford C100 was driven at Silverstone by Neil Cunningham and the late David Leslie. Eligible for Peter Auto’s Group C Racing and Masters Group C series. It’s estimated at between £250k and £350k at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale.
This 2007 Bugatti Veyron was first delivered to Switzerland, and has covered just 770km in its singular ownership. Finished in two-tone metallic Mocha Brown and White Coffee with a Magnolia and Havana interior, it was last serviced in 2012 – and the auctioneer notes that it will need another service before being driven on the road, because it has spent a long time on static display. Offered at no reserve at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale, this Veyron is estimated at between £500k and £800k.
This 1963 Aston Martin DB4 Series V Vantage is one of just 55 built between 1962 and 1965. Improvements included more space and legroom for rear-seat passengers courtesy of a 9cm-longer body, while retaining the original wheelbase. Details on this particular car were scarce at the time of writing, but 800 RVO is estimated at between £350k and £400k at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale.
One of the most intriguing sales at Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale could be this 1992 Jaguar XJ220, which is in need of a spot of recommissioning. Bought via Don Law ten years after the vendor fell in love with the concept car at the 1988 British Motor Show, it’s one of the 69 right-hand-drive XJ220s constructed, and it has had the stage 1 factory brake upgrade. The car hasn’t been run for six to eight years, and it carries a few paint blemishes according to the vendor’s description. It is estimated at between £300k and £350k.
This Vanden Plas-bodied 1928 Bentley 4½ Litre Tourer, chassis KM3091, was sold to Hugh Trevis of Baker Street, London, by Jack Barclay. Specified with the D-type close-ratio gearbox, its original engine (KM3090) was replaced with its current unit (XF3514) in 1939. Between 1972 and 1979 the car was in the stewardship of the McAlpine family, and in 1990 it was acquired by the vendor from its restorer, Stanley Mann. Since then it’s been a regular sight at events across the UK and Europe; it had significant engine work in 2008 courtesy of Blackmore Engineering, including new big ends, conrods, valves, a full-flow oil-filter system and a new starter motor. It’s had more work from Blackmore in 2012, and comes with a variety of spares. It’s estimated at between £280k and £320k at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale.
This MG Metro 6R4 was part of Tom Walkinshaw’s collection during the development of the Jaguar XJ220, and it was later taken to victory by Tony Davies and Raymond Munro on the 1997 Sunseeker Rally. It was then acquired by Colin McRae in 1998 during his time with Subaru, for personal use. He used it as the course car for the 1998 Colin McRae Stages rally. The vendor has owned the car for the past 16 years and has treated it to a comprehensive restoration, using original, period and modern upgraded parts to bring it to its current Tarmac specification. It’s estimated at between £250k and £300k at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale.
This 1961 Jaguar E-type 3.8-litre ‘flat floor’ roadster comes to Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale with just 100 miles covered since its restoration. Originally dispatched by Henlys in Manchester in cream with a red interior, it was acquired by the vendor in 2017 having undergone an extensive restoration by Rothwell Engineering. BAS retrimmed the seats, the carbs were overhauled by Classic Carburettors and the engine was rebuilt by VSE in Wales. Since it acquisition it has been garaged as part of the vendor’s private collection. It has a Jaguar Heritage Trust Certificate and is estimated at between £140k and £180k.
This 1995 BMW M3 E36 carries a lofty pre-sale estimate of between £80k and £100k at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale – but then, this could be an unrepeatable offer. It was originally bought by a London-based Italian from Cheyne BMW, but the owner soon found himself relocating to Singapore for work. He drove the car to his home town of Alassio in Italy, where it was stored in a private garage for nearly 30 years. In 2024 the M3 returned to the UK by trailer, and it is said to be in as-new condition, having covered just 2900 miles.
This 1972 Datsun 240Z IMSA Competition Coupé was built by Ger-Brock Racing of Portland, Oregon. Although referred to as a 240Z, it’s actually configured as a 280Z in race trim. Following design and construction input from Quickor Engineering and Brock Racing Enterprises, it was driven by Gail Woodworth and Gerald ‘Jerry’ Murch. It competed in USA SCCA events between 1975 and 1978, and was successful with numerous wins and class championships. With the aid of Datsun, the car was converted to Trans-Am Group II trim in 1979 and competed with a John Cauldwell-designed 280Z engine that produced 427bhp from 3.0 litres, and notched up a host of top-ten finishes in 1980 and 1981.
When Group II was dropped at the end of 1981 the car was run in IMSA trim, running in GTU and GTO events until 1984. It was later used in SCCA events before being sold to an amateur racer from Seattle in 1990, and around 14 years later it was imported to the UK and restored by H-Engineering. It then made its UK debut at Donington Park in 2021. The car is powered by a new ‘crate’ 240Z Rebello racing engine built to Historic specification and running on new period-specification triple-Weber carburettors. It’s estimated at between £65k and £85k at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 sale.
And so to the leading car by pre-sale estimate at the Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed 2025 auction. It’s being offered for sale by its original owner, who specified the Motorsport Styling Package at an extra £85k. It’s covered just 100 miles but it had its first service last year at a cost of £34,940, which included having its coolant drained and replaced. It’s estimated at between £2.4m and £2.8m.
