There was also a display of some late 60's and early 70's concept cars, these are what we are supposed to be driving around in by now.

Some last random pics.

This is the open air display that was set up out the front of the house.


The short amount of time I spent in one of the grandstands.


Yet another car on display, this one is a Cord.


This is a Hispano Suiza, I won the Cartier ‘Style et Luxe’


Here is something the people from Goodwood sent me.

Great photos mate! Thanks for sharing.

I'm very envious you'd had the chance to check out the festival in the flesh.

Steve.

Steve, it really is a must see, and now that I am looking through the entries list I realise I probably only saw half the cars, and none of the bikes.
I would love to go again, except nect time the holiday will be timed so I can stay for all 3 days.

Boxhead,

What a great event. You have certainly done it justice with your camera. Congratulations.

Baz.

Great stuff Boxhead and thank you for sharing. There is so much to be seen in Europe and the US on the car scene. In Germany the Mercedes and Porsche Museums are a must.

I love the colours of the Jags in your photos.

Merv

Making a pilgrimage to the world's greatest car museums and festivals/events is definitely one of the first things I'd do when those lucky Powerball numbers come my way.

At least here in Sydney we have the Tasman Revival @ Eastern Creek to get a small taste of historics.

Merv, since you're a bit of a Jag fan I've attached a couple of pics of one of my client's (back from my home automation days) D-Type Jag, XKD-510 from last years Tasman Revival.

Sorry for the thread drift.

Steve.

Thanks Steve. That is a lovely colour! Very similar to an MGA that I restored. I am not that keen on Jags ...

I have also seen this colour on a Cobra or two.
