At the last minute I was offered a ticket for the Friday at the Goodwood Revival. Now that was an opportunity I really didn't want to turn down even though I knew I'd have to leave the place by 3pm at the latest so a 5:30am alarm was set and having picked up the ticket bearer from West London we were down there at about 9. So I had six hours to try and see as much as I could....
This seems like a good place to start
Arturo Merzario tries the Abarth 750 for size.
Campbell connections.
Knobbly
The MGB that was recently spotted by someone here?
Lighter.
There was a heavy Cobra presence for the anniversary all-Cobra race.
No need to wonder whether they were replicas or not (though some are likely 'continuations')
Standard fitted with a later 1300 engine.
When warming up this Metropolitan made the most incredible sound form its B series lump.
This is one of my favourite shots.
Big Dan Gurney celebrations too.
A miniature paddock had been built for the J40 racers.
I was trying to get this shot when people kept getting in the way.
Then I realised who one of the people was.
Interesting brake arrangement.
All the cars you can see in this picture are 250GTOs. 12 I think. There were a couple more out of shot.
Sprint in the Go Styla booth.
Plenty more shots of around and about paddock and other displays here.

Some pretty amazing car park spots here.

eg.
I've managed to fit in three practice/qualifying sessions too, the saloons, the Cobras and the big banger V8 sports cars but I have yet to sort those out.
