Looks like a fantastic time!
Is there a full length DVD available, that teaser was great!
BTW: Is Goodwood always planned for the same date each year?

The DVDs are worth buying even though they only give a small taste of what goes on. There is so much to see and do that three days is barely enough. Trouble is that when you go and spectate around the circuit, you miss all the action in the paddock area, and vice-versa! Just watching Spitfires fly over the airfield is enough.....
The event is usually held on the second or third weekend of September when it often clashed with other events held along the south coast, such as the Beaulieu Autojumble (the largest in Europe) or the Brighton Speed Trials just down the road (the oldest motor event still running). This year, the Revival was held on the first weekend - and were incredibly fortunate that it did not rain! A noteable achievement this year!

Whoops!
I posted my Goodwood trip info under the history section!
Goodwood 2007 and Cobras
My Cobra photos are here and are marked as 'new':
http://public.fotki.com/VRM/fordshelby/shelby-cobras/
Including a good set of 2299 (a Daytona Coupe) with the engine removed.
Trevor, Paul, sorry I missed you guys - I should have posted a bit closer to the event to see if anyone was going.
Steve

Hi Steve
Sounds like you had a pretty good weekend! I hope you can make it back again as three days is just never enough.
When the weather is perfect - a bit dull this year - there is nothing that compares to the Revival. Send word if and when you return and I'll even allow you to buy me a drink!
Cheers
Trevor

Hi Steve, excellent photos. You say you visited the first Revival at Goodwood in 98, yes i remember it too, but it rained all sunday morning, but fortunately for the T.T. the sun come out. I remember Phil Hill spinning Rob Waltons Cobra Daytona and gently clouting the banking.
This year i thought was one of the best, it was extra special as a kind spectator gave my son and i free paddock passes., and i got to meet Sir John Whitmore.
BTW Steve, the red Cobra of which you asked for the chassis number is HEM6. This car was actually assembled away from the AC factory by Tommy Atkins in his own workshop. Don,t know much more about the origins of the car except Roy Salvadori raced it at Goodwood in 1964.

[quote=PDHse]My son and i had a marvellous time again at Goodwood, great atmosphere, friendly people and fantastic cars. Larry Miller sent over CSX2299 and the Willment Cobra Coupe. Racing them was Bill Murray and Sir John Whitmore in CSX2299 and Desire Wilson and Lyn St James in the Willment.
The Tourist Trophy was very exciting , we watched the race from Fordwater. Just watching Cobras , Ferraris ,Corvette Stingrays and Jaguars sliding round Madgwick corner was awesome.
Sadly the race ended after forty five minutes as Martin Stretton had a heavy shunt in a Iso Bizzarini, i hear he got away with a broken elbow and bruises.
I,ll post a few pictures now and some tomorrow.
YES MARTIN STRETTON HIT THE TYRE WALL VERY HARD

Beaten to it - it so happens I was finally got around to watching the TV prog this lunch time! He went into a corner a bit too hot with another car up his tail, slid wide, sideswiped an Aston and careered head on into the tyre wall. First time for this car at Goodwood. Pity.

Where/how would someone go about repairing a car like that? I feel really bad for the owner. That car was Sweet!

We are lucky to have several experienced repair shops in the UK where ali can be formed and repaired. One I know of has all the necessary panels hanging from the roof, ready to slap into place - the car's probably as good as new by now!
If originality is all-important, (as if!) I've seen Cobras repaired having suffered even worse damage purely by pulling the original metal back into shape - the joy of aluminum, it has a 'memory'. In one case, a rear wing had been flattened to an inch-wide block. A genuine artisan simply pulled and re-shaped the same metal back into its original form - amazing.

Ref 6042/Purley - no idea. Certainly not listed in the 97 Registry. Mind you it does not list David owning any Cobra! I'm sure the next one will rectify this. If 6042 was the car that his cousin Derek Ridler drove, I was under the impression that Derek owned that one. Ooops just checked the chassis list and 6009 was the J. Anstiss car owned by him from new, now with Justin Law. I'll have to dig into my files to recall which car David smashed. When I get time....
Ah yes, apologies - fender it is. Silly me :-)

Yes Justin Law owns COB6009, I got speaking to him earlier in the year at the Historic Festival at Silverstone, I was curious weather David Purley had owned or raced COB6042. I have seen black & white photo`s of his Cobra with a silver hardtop. I do remember one of the commentators mentioning that COB6042 was once owned by David Purley
