Goodwood Revival 2015

[Pete]

Shackleton drove a blinder didn't he until the tank slapper. Hope he's OK, I've asked David.

Shame they did get a Cooper/S for the McLaren tribute, though the 'wing van' looked good, here's the original..

[Old English White]

He did look pretty cross with himself didn't he....
Taken out by such a youngster too. Now there's someone to watch out for in the future eh?

[Pete]

George was lucky to be able to walk from that, very big hit. Neck ache will be the limit of his worries this afternoon. Great drive, had his right arm under the belly of the Cooper on hard corners.

[Old English White]

I think he'll be a bit sore tomorrow poor fella. A great race though. Wife's out today so I'm going to settle meself down with some bread & dripping and a mug of tea ready for the St Mary's .

I must say the live streaming is a brilliant idea - a good second to being there isn't it!

[Pete]

The Swifty / Fiorani battle was epic, one of the best Swifty's had at Goodwood. Theo was lapped three times?

[Old English White]

GRIPPING wasn't it

[Old English White]

Theo might've been there on the basis of having written a big cheque rather than his driving ability

[Pete]

Swifty provided virtually all the action, so lots of Mini coverage in favour of the leaders.
Great stuff. Roll on 2017 then, when I may actually make it.

S rims on the back only?

Hopefully they will show the races on Motors TV (channel 447 on SKY) in one of the many shows that are scheduled this week.

A couple of pictures from the weekend, at the bottom, unrestored LHD S, rather rich on the price front at £39,995, surprised to see quite a 'thickness' to the wing on this racer, below one for sale at Bonhams, early non window recess shell despite the S badges

[Pete]

The Cherry Red racer is Mark's old car and the tired S used to be young Will's!

The Cherry Red racer is Mark's old car .....

'Still got the MED engine??

[mk1coopers]

I thought the 'Broadspeed S's number looked familiar, I'm sure it wasn't cheap though

MK2 Cooper here............ (in the next post down which is now the right way up )

[Pete]

or even....



Lovely pair...of ...over riders.

[Pete]

Rauno?

I've been following the Revival weekend online. I had hoped to attend this year as I missed the last 2 Revivals, but circumstances didn't allow it for another year. Gutted, as it looked like another excellent event.
Fingers crossed next year I'll be there and intend to drive the 1200 miles round trip with the (hopefully finished) Cooper S Traveller

This was an amazing event... i was not expecting to be so nice!
So many amazing cars... and the atmosphere... i think i liked it more than the cars!
I've met forum members Ian ( 59fan ) and Andrew... thanks once again guys for receiving us and nice chat!

next time we must be there more than one day... there is a lot of stuff to enjoy.

few pics i've taken, my mates have hundreads of them i'll share them once available.

Cheers
Luis

Really? , I had not noticed those before........

[Jamie]

I went Saturday and Sunday had a great time, as has been said the St Mary's trophy races were both brilliant, Swiftys duel with the Alfa was the main entertainment.

I got a few pics on the phone...the OEW mini on the bottom photo is mine.
