James May's Porsche 911 Sold At 2015 Goodwood Festival Of Speed: Video

UPDATE: This 1984 Porsche 911 3.2-liter Carrera owned by ex-'Top Gear' host James May was sold during the past weekend’s 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed for a little over £50,000 (approximately $78,225). The final bid was close to double the expected price.

As far as Top Gear goes, the big news is that venerable BBC presenter Chris Evans has been named as Jeremy Clarkson's replacement—but it's not the only news.

Later this month, Bonhams will be auctioning program alumni James May's 1984 Porsche 911 3.2-liter Carrera at Goodwood. As you'd expect from the fastidious "Captain Slow," it looks to be a fantastic example.

In fact, in the video above, he declares the 911 "the best car I've ever bought"—though in fairness, he qualifies the statement with an immediate, "That's not saying much, actually."
