Another typical British event packing in classic cars, great racing cars from the past and the present and by and large being held on the same lines of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the 2012 edition of the Cholmondeley Pageant of Power attracted over 50,000 people despite inclement weather. 

Held over May 15 to 17, the event had great cars on static display (well over 1000!) as well as hot action over the 1.2-mile course where machines from different eras vied for fastest time of day. Bentley, Jaguar, Ford and BMW were out in force with their great machines while great F1 and sports cars from the past were in attendance as were some of the aero-engined monsters from the 1920s!

A great sight was that of the 1910 Edison-Puton Monowheel which turned a wheel and propelled its rider on the slippery tarmac in great style while another top star was the 1955 Moto Guzzi 500cc V8-engined Grand Prix bike, one of just three built! This bike was handled by noted trials ace Sammy Miller who had many other machines from his magnificent motorcycle museum in attendance at Cholmondeley.
