[michael1703]

That £80k landy is immensely shit, the gear stick looks like a red plastic dildo

[alf892]

Old cars you can see at any show..........but the glammed up gurls..........oh the gurls!

 

Quite a bit of shrink wrapped gammon about I know but mostly very nicely presented.

Cracking pics trig. As a first timer who travelled 8 hours to get there it was magical.

 

Arrived to the campsite on the Thursday afternoon to have a Spitfire and Mustang take off and practice their display over the campsite. Followed by the owners of the Mk2 Jag race car camped along from us testing it on the road outside. Then the xj220 and F40 on the road on the way to the supermarket. And all that before I got in the gate!

 

Here's some pics...

So Trigger, you were basically standing right behind me during the St Mary's Trophy race

 

Loads of great photos there fella. I had no idea I'd missed so much in the classic parking area!

Was i! You should have said hello! 

 

So you'll be glad to hear that this is the last batch of photos from day 3 (The Sunday).

 

This was in the public car park, Apparently it's some Corvette thing worth £160k+.

 

 

 

Another 2002.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was a friend of Sam Glovers, complete with a Autoshite sticker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No idea what this is.

 

 

 

 

Lovely old Wolseley Hearse.

 

 

 

One of my favorite old Aston Martins this.

 

 

 

VW Beetle rod.

 

 

 

 

This was up for sale for £2995.

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was some strange display on by these guys for "Chaps" magazine, I thought it was quite funny.

 

 

 

 

 

The highlight of the weekend for me was the tribute to the WW2 veterans, They had a backstory on the TV screen about the race tracks origins back to the war and how it came about then they played a number of WW2 songs whilst a large number of old WW2 vehicles done a circuit of the track along with a several Willys Jeeps with the old war veterans inside, all while the Spitfires and Lancasters done loops of the circuit above, it really was a humbling experience that gave me goosebumps. Very impressive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not sure what this is?

 

 

The great Sterling Moss.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is that Elo from the London Motor museum.

 

 

And lastly i watched some of the cars leave the show field, the marshall was trying to encourage them to give it beans as they left, a few of them did, It was pretty cool.

Iso Rivolta... Coachbuilt exoticshite with a Chevy V8 !

I was thinking your car was on show or something like that. I saw on Facebook that my mate was going there and said if he see's some guy from Essex called Trigger, with a blue Mk3 Cortina to say hello.

 

I would not have normally done that sort of thing but the possibility that I got a mate who I have not seen for 10 years and lives at the other end of the country, to speak to a guy I have never met in person, on my behalf, at something called a Retro Revival was too much to pass up on....if it had worked.

 

Did not realise quite what it was like TBH. Photos are ace Trig, I really need to head down there.

[alf892]

that other no idea thing was a threshing machine.

 

Fantastic bunch of pics Trigger and thanks for taking the time to post them up........I took about 4 the whole weekend

[trigger]

I meant the ice cream van under it!

[brickwall]

Just so much great stuff. I love the buses and the white  zero effort shite Roller.

[chris1991]

I thought the classic car park was only open for tax exempt cars, nice to see a few interesting later cars sneak in. 

[sheffcortinacentre]

the icecream van is based on a Bedford CA chassis.

[wuvvum]

Isn't that Corvette thing a Saleen S7 or something like that?

VW Beetle rod.

 

IMG_2344.JPG

I actually quite like that.

[trigger]

I think it's a Mosler MT900, 1 of 14 made.

[rml2345]

Excellent thread Trig! That looks like a properly brilliant event which I'll have to find some way of attending soon.

[Sudsprint]

Fantastic photos

 

The car park is brilliant and it is great to see a Muira next to a Minor (etc).

[garethj]

Fantastic photos, thanks for posting them up!

 

I went there about 5 years ago for a day, and it was superb.  Then I went 2 years later, dressed up (it seems a portly country gent from the '50s was exactly my size).  I bought the clothes from ebay for about £30 rather than hiring them.

 

The attention to detail of the event is wonderful; those Paddock card tags with string that you tie on are such a neat touch, and everything there is carefully thought out.  I also love the rarity of cars they get.  The cars are revving up to start and over the tannoy the bloke will say "there were only 8 of these Ferraris made in 1959, and we've got them all here on the grid today".  That's impressive.

 

While I love cars I don't really know much about planes, but the sight and sound of the Spitfire flying very low overhead does something funny to my insides.

The autograph pic is Win Percy isn't it? The Revival is a great event. I went to the first 6 then stopped due to September being my busiest month. Full marks for making the effort with the attire - Mrs Trig looks fantastic! You have to take care when gawping at the beautiful machinery as a US serviceman will usually sweep in with effective chat-up lines...

Gooders at revival time has to be seen to be believed....Just because my attitude to Tesco and peepul en masse has kept me away for a year or so should not let my negativity put anybody off attending.    If you just focus on the car park and the circuit itself you will see all you need to give you the Goodwood Goosebumps.   There is nothing like it on earth and only the Brits in my opinion can understand it well enough to organise such an event.   I have been to Le Mans Classic and that comes close but nothing is quite like the Revival.  Never mind Scotland - Goodwood Revival should vote for independence......Minus Tesco, of course.
