The ducting in the hollow headlight bezels had me thinking that race cars get an impressive look with blacked out headlights



I've often found that the racecars with eyes painted on the headlights were amusing. I bet googly eyes that roll with centripetal force in cornering would be a hoot for the spectators, or eyebrows on springs pivoting with black spots for eyes.

Of course, racecars are best served with no additional weight or superflous gadgets that could break off and litter the race track... but at Goodwood? Just a thought

What the new Mini coupe looks like





Quite a variety of Rolls Royce
And Lotus changed a lot too
Best display









 above, best cultural interior that fits the car show
 Quite a variety of Bentleys too


British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
