Goodwood Revival Best of British

Another montage, this time of some of the British cars and aircraft at the Goodwood Revival 2009. The Mini featured heavily, with the dedicated St Mary's Trophy. I much preferred the Jaguar and Aston Martin racers especially the (probably Lynx replica) XKSS in the Tax exempt parking. Some of the lightweight E types in the RAC TT looked heavily modified notably the perspex windowed and tailgated coupe driven by Eddie Cheever and Martin Stretton.

Ferraris at the Goodwood Revival 2009

Here is a montage of video and photographs of Ferraris (and a few other sights and sounds) at the Goodwood Revival 2009. The 250GTO's and SWB's need no introduction but also shown is the rare (one of four) 330LMB which won the RAC TT race at the Revival in 2008.

Also in the photos is a rather lovely recreation of a 156 Sharknose. Normally I don't approve of recreations but as none of the originals still exist and this one is about as close as you can get, to the original I'll make an exception.

The 330LMB, and the 250GTO/64 were again front runners in this years TT but had to give best to Adrian Newey's highly developed lightweight Jaguar E Type (seen in one of the video sections).

Plenty to blog from today's visit to the Goodwood revival but for starters here is a slideshow of my photos.
