Gutted that I missed the revival again. Without a doubt the best classic car show/event in the UK.

Nice pictures though. Are there plenty of spitfires there again? (planes not cars) lol

Quite a few Spitfires flying as well as a few of the sports cars on show!
The visitor tax exempt classic car parking area is a show in itself, far bigger than most normal classic car shows, it is actually outside alongside the fairground/showground and after parking your own car whether modern or classic in the free parking areas, you could then spend a whole day looking at the classic parking areas without ever needing an expensive ticket to enter into the motor racing circuit or main show areas!!

Yeah it's fab. I was there 2 years ago and spent hours wandering around the classic car park. Such a wide variety of cars / bikes and commercial vehicles.

And you can't beat the smell of Castrol Racing R oil.....ummmm :)

Photos are all mine.......was hard to get good shots of the two coachbuilt Mini's inside due to the crowds and lack of space!

There are usually more Mini's on the pre-66 Revival weekends.......they alternate each year and this year was the turn of pre-57 so no racing Mini's either, should be more Mini's again next year.

Long shot I know ,but have you any pics of the Fiat Mutipla that is behind the Ogle?

Think that the mini's only run in the St Mary's every two years and next year being 50th Anniversary of the cooper,it should be even better

Nice to be woken each morning by a Spitfire flying over the campsite

I had intended to take a close up pic of the Fiat as there was always one similar parked in my street when I was a kid back in the 1960's......but I got distracted and forgot to snap it as there were just so many great cars to see everywhere at Goodwood.

Yes......St Mary's Trophy race will be pre-66 again next year so giant killing Mini's and the Ford Falcons will return!
