Das Thema Patina ist in der Richtlinie zur Begutachtung von historischen Fahrzeugen nur bei den negativ Beispielen erwähnt worden. Die Szene und auch einige erfahrene Gutachter sehen authentische, gepflegte Patina teilweise sogar als Wertsteigerung. Ein britischer Restaurator bietet genau aus dem Grund die Restauration eines Porsche 356A in Concours-Standard und alternativ auch mit Erhalt der über viele Jahre entstandenen einzigartigen Patina an.

Goodwood wishes Sir Stirling Moss a happy 90th birthday

Sir Stirling Moss reaches his 90th birthday today (17th September), and Goodwood extends its warmest wishes to him and his family on this landmark occasion.
At this weekend’s Goodwood Revival a special celebration was held in Sir Stirling’s honour, at which the Duke of Richmond addressed a capacity crowd and drivers including four-time NASCAR champion Jeff Gordon, former F1 driver David Brabham, nine-time Le Mans 24 Hour winner Tom Christensen, three-time Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti and five-time Le Mans 24 Hour winner and 1986 World Sportscar champion Derek Bell. Following the address, the Duke accompanied Sir Stirling’s wife, Lady Susie Moss, in an Aston Martin DBR1 – a car synonymous with Moss and Goodwood – at the head of a parade that numbered some of his most celebrated cars.
