Gallery: The best of sportscar beauties at 2017's Revival

Whether you take them open-topped, closed cockpit, mid-engined, front-engined, British, Italian, American or vaguely Scottish in flavour – all were out in force.

If you prefer your sportscars with a dash of Le Mans-winning pedigree then you were well-catered for with D-types, TWO Ferrari 250 LMs and plenty of muscle-bound GT40s getting squirrelly on track.

If serious Goodwood history is more to your taste, then the original 9 hours-winning DB3S “Dark Star” of the Sussex Trophy might cut it. Perhaps you’d prefer some open-air V8 fury in the form of a Lola T70?

What’s your pick of the litter? For us, you can't beat a 250 SWB for a seamless blend of pace, prettiness and delicious V12 music.
