The Bonhams Goodwood Revival 2018 auction was held 8 September at the Goodwood Motor Circuit in Chichester, England, resulting in £14,540,675 in total sales.
The top result at the 2018 Bonhams Goodwood Revival sale went to the 1964 Shelby Cobra 289 Competition Roadster that sold for £1,359,000, a European auction record for the marque.

Martin Brundle and Alain Ferté drove chassis 490 to overall victory at the 1990 Group C World Championship race at Silverstone in front of the home crowd.
Additionally, the 1955 Rolls-Royce Phantom IV State Landaulette previously used by HM The Queen made £800,000, while the UK Vehicle Registration Number RR 1 sold for an eye-popping £460,000, a world record for a registration plate at auction.
