I did get to go to Goodwood! My wife won tickets for the Friday practice session.  My friend and I had a great time, although there were long periods with no action on the track. Still, it cost us nothing to get in. 
There was a 427 Cobra there. I didn't examine it in minute detail but it looked like a genuine 1960s car. Of course, it could have been a Shelby CSX4000-series or a Kirkham car. It was white with a black hood. It looked and sounded wonderful!  I couldn't identify the owner.
The Mk.2 Le Mans 24 hours car was there - "39 PH." I have seen the car before and it was great to see it again. I think this was the genuine car from the great endurance race, although there are some very good replicas around. But Goodwood seems to bring out the really historic stuff, so let's give it the benefit of the doubt!
