Goodwood Revival 2022

Just back - The BRM team had 3 roving reporters on site so get ready for a deluge of very nice pics to follow over the coming week or so - I also made an error in my introduction to the event by stating that Revival is probably one of the worlds best historic race meetings (I have now fixed the error)   

Indeed a stunning event, I was there for the Sunday.
By the last day the word had spread far and wide, and even our extra-terrestrial friends wanted to be part of the action.



Gassers, and a good band, I'd not noticed the amusing sign until the photos 



A very British photo, I love the fact that oily-rag cars get as much attention as multi-million pound cars.



The commercials always catch my eye - and this one was stunning.



This German registered one too, I can only imagine how slow it would have been in period, with a Mk2 Jag hanging from the crane.



Next batch imminent....

There was a meet up of some of the moderators for lunch.
Alas none of us own the glorious jag, but left to right we have

Even the end of the day can be great.
A fleet of classic taxis run around, for people parked/staying at some locations around the estate.
My ride was a glorious Mk1 Jaguar long-term owned by l lovely Dutch guy.



Parking where I did, gave the opportunity to sneak in a picture as we left through the grounds.
Daimler doesn't come out much, but was an absolute joy to take out for the day.

I only went for the Friday and the event is spectacular. You could spend a day checking out the cars in both of the public classic car parks. Took loads of pics but there is too much to show

Some tremendously coloured trousers in the background of a couple of those pics

Finally managed to extract most of my pics from my phone (new phone time) so will update the thread shortly from my perspective also

Very rare Jowett 10 Saloon 











Much rarer Lancia sports tourer driven direct to Goodwood from Oxford - Note the highly unusual pillar front suspension set up
 






Both of the prancing horse designs being the real thing too 

Away from the cricket match some other general spots from around the various venues 





Along with some initial pics from the paddocks













It's of no surprise the efforts that are made with set dressing - This is the Goodwood Road Racing Club members enclosure 



The Jag XK being just one of the hundreds of static car exhibits 



And not just cars either - many historic aircraft are on display 







Back through just one of the many paddocks 









100 years of the Austin 7 was celebrated at the event and every time you turned a corner you would find another 7 on static display - sometimes solo, sometimes in pairs and quite often several of them huddled around each other 











Much more to come yet 

Even the aliens go out their way to make a visit to Revival  

This 'Frontline' MGC was on display - the detail was appalling with panel gaps large enough to drive a bus through & a shockingly poor trim fit  - I wouldn't have dared put my name to it  



Just what you have always wanted in your life a modified dolly trolley
