Goodwood Revival

[clockwork]

Well it`s that time already and although I can only go Sunday it looks promising,lots of quality as usual and a chance to wear my old 1940`s clothes again(joking honest) even I draw the line at nappies,Mr Bean will be making his 1st and only public appearance,although you can catch his alter ego Mr Atkinson in the paddock racing an A35. I shall post pics after the weekend all being well.:) taster http://www.goodwood.co.uk/site/content/revival/

Looks like its going to be a great event this year, I wish I was going.:crying:

Never been to the Revival or the Festival of Speed but would like to go one day.

Please take plenty of photos , and hopefully it will be televised on the Speed channel later on in the year.

I'd so love to go to that. Talk about sensory over load!

If you are driving the Esprit, I think some white cotton pants, a pastel solid color shirt, and Ray Bans are in order to be period correct with your car? The Esprit is, after all, very Miami Vice! :thumbup:

I'm going to look like a 1950s Magnum PI. How terrible is that!

My wife said she would divorce me If I ever started wearing a flat cap.:(

[Mark Blanchard]

Here are my pics of Goodwood Revival. Drove down yesterday in convoy with a few mates in an Austin Healey and Porsche 911 Carrera. Was a great day and amazing cars.

Great photos Mark, good to see Sir Anthony Bamfords 250 GTO (bodied in the LM style) again.

Was Andy Newell there looking after it?

The Chinook Mk 1 Can am car is pretty rare too isnt it, it looks very similar to a Chaparral 2.

The mini skirted Dolly Birds were nice to look at BTW.

[Mark Blanchard]

I'm afraid I don't know if Andy Newell was looking after the cars. Ever other had at the Revival seem to have JCB on it!

The car of the show for me was the Hamill-Chevrolet SR-3. When I saw it I went bonkers. It was one of the cars from the Mystery cars thread.

Totally awsome! If jealousy is indeed a motive to kill someone... I'd say you could be in danger.:ohmy: Hahaha...

That AH 3000 is so pretty...

Simply incredible!!!!

The one that says Fejers Racing Cars Toronto...........what is that car?

That's the Chinook Mk 1 CanAm, though strangely the bonnet badge says Hinook.

Great pics, Mark. Thanks for sharing! :thumbup:

I don't remember the dolls wearing shorts under their miniskirts, tho' :mad: :thumbdown:

[clockwork]

Lovely pics Mark,hope you had a good day,I went down on Sat. afternoon and came back Sun. night,545 mls round trip in the Orange,took about 240 pics :ohmy: trying to figure out how to work photobuckets bulk uploader, but just for the curious, the man in the photo is saying",look stupid,you asked me if I was having a nice day last time we met" http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/240.jpg http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/P1040365.jpg :)

[Brian Skeoch]

oh man.. while looking at these pictures I am holding my heart as I back up yelling " I'm coming to you Elizabeth "

[clockwork]

Peeped in, http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/135.jpg and had to go suddenly http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/136.jpg went in Bonhams,the price is on the screen http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/043.jpg

[WayneB]

Took me a little while to figure this one out, I could see the Bristol dashboard and wheels, but it doesnt look like any Bristol I have ever seen (probably because it has been rebodied with a Talbot-Lago T150 one.)

I grew up just around the corner from Bristol expert Brian May so I thought I had seen them all!:lol:

Beautiful car, I love it.

http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/P1040365.jpg

Nice to see Norman Dewis is looking as spritley as ever.

[clockwork]

I didn`t have the heart to doctor the badges, http://s514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/goodwood/ a good day out ,in no real order.:thumbup: Wayne ,when I saw it I thought Figoni and Falaschi straight away,but in the link you`ll see this, http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/goodwood/P1040255.jpg which was a more modern take on it.

[WayneB]

Some nice Art Deco styling going on there!:)

Didn't Petersen Engineering build Jay Leno's Speed Six?

http://www.ridelust.com/wp-content/uploads/leno-bentley-speed-six.jpg

[clockwork]

Quite possibly Wayne,there was a similar red one on their stand,which along with a lot of others,Bonhams included,were out in the car park area so in theory no tickets were needed to view which could have occupied a good few hours.:yes: PS Does that link work ?

[WayneB]

The link didn't work this morning , but it does now thanks.:)

I was looking at that Lotus Mk. X , NOY 1 and admiring it.
http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/goodwood/P1040246.jpg

Apparently it was used in a movie back in 1956 called Checkpoint, and at the time it belonged to Cliff Davis!

Here it is from back then.

Good spot Wayne,they were all parked together in the car park so must have come in convoy,have a look at this one. http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/goodwood/P1040354.jpg http://i514.photobucket.com/albums/t347/clockwork012/goodwood/P1040355.jpg front wheel drive and a monocoque long before Mr Chapman,I`ve left the badge on,but it would have made a good "mystery"car :lol:

[WayneB]

I have no idea what that is clockwork, you will have to educate me on that one.

It looks to be 4WD and possibly pre-dates the Ferguson P99 which I always believed was the first 4WD Grand Prix car.

http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/photos-shelsley/80.jpg

Found a bit about it, Front wheel drive, Glassfibre monocoque, Cosworth Anglia engine, formula Junior.
Cool Car, never seen it before, wonder what it handles like?

Bet you really had to have "Fangio arms" to drive those things...:weight_lift:

:steeringwheel:

[clockwork]

Right again Wayne,another one from of Mr.Laurie Bond`s fertile brain,built his own transaxle and created a lot of attention but sadly little success, parts exist to build another and work has started I believe.:) Yes Eric,there was no urge to go and get a 10" wheel from the local chrome tape shop.:lol:

[clockwork]

There is a chance this may work http://www.itv.com/ITVPlayer/Video/default.html?ViewType=5&Filter=102576 :) expired now
