A LUXURY car manufacturer has debuted a bespoke selection of cars at a historic motoring festival.

Rolls Royce is showing visitors to the Goodwood Festival of Speed its Wraith Black Badge Landspeed Collection of cars.

The collection, which "celebrates achievement, innovation and courage", commemorates the records set by engineer Captain George Eyston.

Eyston set the world land speed record in 1937 in the Thunderbolt car, which was powered by two Rolls Royce R V12 aero engines.

In the exclusive first look showcase, the collection will take to the hillclimb - an event where road and race cars and bikes, old and new, speed up a hill - up to four times a day, demonstrating the car's agility.

A Rolls-Royce Dawn Black Badge car will join the others in the Michelin Supercar Run; a chance to see the world's newest, most powerful and fastest cars.

The cars can be viewed in the Supercar Paddock between their scheduled high speed outings.

They will also be displayed on the festival's Laundry Green showing off the craftsmanship that went into making them.

One Rolls Royce is presented in a specially created two-tone finish, which marries Black Diamond Metallic with a bespoke Bonneville Blue hue.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed received the green light to go ahead until Sunday after it was chosen to be part of the Events Research Programme (ERP) as a pilot event.

It means petrolheads attending the event will have to agree to the conditions of entry set out by the programme to attend the festival.

This includes either having had both doses of the vaccine at least 14 days before the event or proof of a negative Lateral Flow Test, which can be taken at home or at a recognised centre free of charge.
