There are a lot of cars on show at this week's Goodwood Festival of Speed, but in a little corner of the grounds stands some incredibly rare examples.
Tucked away to the left of the main house, you'll find the Cartier Style et Luxe Lawn, where the "most beautiful cars are presented in exceptional condition", Goodwood says.
Here, we detail each of those cars which are on display this year.
Bucciali TAV8-32 V12 ‘Flèche d’Or’ (1932)
Equipped with a 16-cylinder engine, this outrageous, but beautiful, car comes from French firm Bucciali. The name ‘Flèche d’Or’ means Golden Arrow and refers to the unique bodywork this car has. Of the six created, only three remain in existence.
Bugatti Type 57 C Atalante (1938)
An entirely new design created by Jean Bugatti, the son of founder Ettore, just 570 of the Type 57 were ever produced - and sold for a high price too. It features an eight-cylinder 3.3-litre engine, which is considered to be one of the founder’s greatest creations.
Delahaye 135 MS (1935)

For sheer gobsmacking presence, the Bucciali takes some beating. What a stir this must have made pulling up outside Hotel de Paris in Monte Carlo in the 30's! It was an era of incredibly exotic cars.
Much as I have been a Ferrari fan pretty muchh my entire life, it is the Unipower GT which wins my vote. Rare as hell, exceptionally pretty and in the day a pinnacle of desire in the world of Mini's. I remember hoovering up any article on this car as a schoolboy having seen the car on the stand at the Racing Car show!
Autocar, you need to start employing people who know their automotive history, if you are going to write articles about classic cars....
Your 250 Lusso picture was actually a 250 TDF
Your F40 picture was a F50
Want to see them live?, then watch it on YouTube, Goodwood live covers most of what there, much better than reading or looking at images of some exciting cars.
