Once a year, car lovers gather to witness magic, and this July, the Hampson Gold Cup is where that magic lives. From iconic classics to modern marvels, Hampson’s summer selection has something to spark everyone’s automotive imagination.
What’s New at the Hampson Gold Cup
Expect the unexpected. This year’s highlights start with the ultra-rare 1978 Aston Martin V8 Oscar India. One of just 291 ever built, it’s had only four owners and still exudes that handcrafted British luxury.
Not far behind is the 1976 Ferrari 308 GTB ‘Vetroresina’. With a lightweight fiberglass body and just 154 right-hand-drive units ever made, it’s a gem that doesn’t surface often.
Hampson’s High-Performance Stars
Among the showstoppers is the BMW E28 Hartge H5SP, a rare breed in itself. With 268 horsepower and Griffin Motorsport tuning, it’s the definition of German muscle. For modern thrill-seekers, the 2023 Lamborghini Urus Performante brings heat. Its 666hp twin-turbo V8 and aggressive styling make it impossible to ignore.
Timeless American Icons on Display
American muscle and style get a strong showing. There’s the 1949 Cadillac Fastback Coupe and a 1965 Ford Mustang Convertible fresh from California. And yes, the actual 1965 Cadillac Coupe Deville driven by Don Draper in Mad Men will be up for grabs.
Born to Race, Ready to Shine
Hampson’s motorsport side shines with a 1988 Renault 5 GT Turbo Cup racer, steeped in historic track history, and a 1994 Clio Williams Cup car that already has wins under its belt.
Collector Cars That Break the Mold
Some entries defy easy classification. The charming 1963 Auto Union Universal 1000, finished in pale yellow, features suicide doors and South African roots. Or the bold 1994 Toyota MR2 Turbo, true 90s performance in rare factory-fresh form.
The Ford Family Brings Firepower
Fords of every flavor add depth to Hampson’s summer celebration. From the Capri 280 Brooklands and Escort 1600 GL to the outrageous Anglia 105e resto-mod, each one carries serious personality.
Summary
The Hampson Gold Cup isn’t just an event, it’s a celebration of mechanical artistry. Whether you’re drawn to vintage elegance or high-octane performance, the 2025 lineup guarantees a thrilling ride through automotive history.
