The TT first came to the Goodwood Motor Circuit in 1958 as a three-hour endurance race for sports racing cars. These prototypes were succeeded by GT cars in the early 1960s, exemplified by the standard Ferrari 250GT SWB models that Stirling Moss famously drove to victories in the 1960 and 1961 TTs.

Stable mates of these Ferraris are now worth a fortune, as are the much-sought 250 GTO and 330 LMB models, examples of which can be seen in action at the Revival. Joining Maranello’s finest will be a nest of AC Cobras, various lightweight Jaguar E-Types, plus some scarce Aston Martins and even a rarely seen ISO Bizzarini A3C.

For 2007, the value of the cars set to line up on the Goodwood grid for the TT is estimated to exceed £30 million. Despite this, the ultra-rare Ferraris, Aston Martins and AC Cobras will all be driven in anger, with some of the closest and most competitive wheel-to-wheel racing to be seen anywhere in the world.

A few names to look out for behind the wheels of these impeccable multi-million pound machines include Sir Stirling Moss (Ferrari 250 GTO), Richard Attwood (Aston Martin DB4GT), Jackie Oliver (AC Cobra Le Mans Coupé), Derek Bell (Jaguar E-type lightweight) Hurley Haywood (Chevrolet Corvette), Rauno Aaltonen (Jaguar E-Type), John Whitmore (Shelby American Cobra Daytona Coupé) and Andy Rouse (Jaguar E-Type).
