'Having this car was already heading for trouble, breaking the rules of the establishment, driving a car I was definitely not born in to. 'Blue Lena' had carried us on many an acid-fuelled journey.' Eight children's race-cars, including half-scale Ferraris and pedal cars, all offered by Chris Evans sold well. One of the highlights was a rare 'Bimbo V12 Racer' two-seat child's motorized car by S.I.L.A. of Turin, sold for double estimate at £13,750. Chris Evans' automobilia sale raised £65,280, all of which will be donated to BBC charity Children in Need. The highlight of Chris Evans' cars was the 1963 Ferrari 250 GT SWB 'Alloy' Berlinetta recreation, which sold for £606,300. Elsewhere, the very first, home-grown, all-American team of Formula 1 racing cars went under the hammer. Named after the legendary Egyptian 'good luck' beetle, the 'Scarabs' saw spirited bidding in the room, on the telephone and online. After intense bidding, the 1960 Scarab-Offenhauser Formula 1/Intercontinental Formula Racing Single-Seater sold for £673,500, the 1960-Type Scarab-Offenhauser Formula 1/Intercontinental Formula Racing Single-Seater, sold for £328,540, and the highly coveted 1956 Fiat-Bartoletti Tipo 642 Diesel-Engined Racing Car Transporter sold for £656,700. The 1958-Type Scarab-Chevrolet Mark I Sports-Racing Two-Seater, that did not find a buyer under the hammer, was later sold to a European bidder for circa £650,000, a 100% success for this important collection. James Knight, Bonhams International Group Motoring Director, said: 'For the first time at Revival, this year we created a 'drive through' auction, so bidders were able to see and hear the lots as they came under the hammer. We always enjoy coming to the Goodwood Revival, it's an event with great atmosphere, great energy, and we're very proud to continue our long-term partnership with the world's greatest historic race meeting. 'We had a great sale, achieving £12.7 million, and look forward to the remaining sales in this year's motoring calendar.' The next sale in Bonhams motoring department calendar is the Frederiksen Collection Sale, taking place at Lyngsbækgaard Manor, in Mols Bjerge National Park, Denmark, on Saturday 26 September 2015.
