Lawn Classics at 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed Photo Gallery

Sedans, coupes, GT cars, roadsters, sports cars, and limousines—and even a Rolls-Royce boat tail!—graced the lawn at the Cartier Style et Luxe, Goodwood’s annual concours d’elegance during last weekend’s Festival of Speed in southern England.

Mind you, this particular concours d’elegance is a sideshow to the real activity in front of the Duke of Richmond’s estate, where hundreds of high-powered cars sprint up his 1.17-mile driveway, hoping to set a new Goodwood record.

So the number of cars gathered on the Cartier lawn was modest, but the quality and rarity of the models displayed made up for it. And here’s something that doesn’t happen very often: It didn’t rain at all, which turned the grass brown and brittle, and thousands of visitors walking among the cars kicked up so much dust that maintenance crews needed to wipe down these classic cars to keep them presentable.

This Cartier car show celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a real treat was in store for concours visitors who walked through the grand entrance to the three-story red brick stable yard where prized horses were kept. But during the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the only horses in this enormous courtyard were under the hoods of the latest Rolls-Royce cars, built at the company’s plant a mile away.
