This year the organizers focussed on five different classes covering one single subject; the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. As a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her Diamond Jubilee, Goodwood and Cartier gathered a selection of vehicles all personally owned or used by Her Majesty. These vehicles have never been seen in public together as a collection.
In the class State Occasions we came across 1920 Royal Midland 4500 Royal Special Saloon, 1929 Daimler Double Six 30hp Brougham, 1948 Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, 1961 Rolls-Royce Phantom V and a 1969 Austin Princess Van des Plas. Some of the cars are still owned by Her Majesty The Queen.
In the class Overseas Engagements the display includs a 1924 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, 1925 Rolls-Royce 20hp, 1948 Daimler DE 36 All Weather Tourer, 1950 Lincoln Cosmopolitan Limousine and 1965 Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman. The 1952 De Havilland DHC-1 Chipmunk, 1937 Daimler V Shooting Brake, 1961 Vauxhall Cresta Friary Estate and 1951 Ford V8 Pilot Shooting Brake belong to the Country Life class.
Class four features three cars; 1961 Alvis TD21 DHC SII, 1963 Rover P5 and a 1991 Daimler Double Six Series 3. All cars in the Fit For a Prince class are owned by the Royal Family, such as the 1924 Citroen C4, 1950 Austin J40, 1966 Aston Martin DB5 and 1988 Aston Martin Volante.
During the weekend, a number of Her Majesty’s cars will move from the Cartier Lawn and slowly parade along the Goodwood hillclimb for a special Diamond Jubilee tribute to Her Majesty The Queen.
