I went along to the Goodwood Revival on sunday as I was in the area. I didn't have a ticket, so wasn't expecting to see much - I just thought I might see some interesting vehicles in the parking lot or driving around the area.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was plenty to see, without the need for a ticket!

The Revival Classic Car Show is held outside of the main entrance to the track and entry is free - essentially it's like a special area of the car park exclusively for classics. I was also able to access the trade stands without a ticket, and enter the Bonhams Auction area, as the sale was the day before.

Here's just a sample of what I saw in the Classic Car Show, which was huge. Plenty of cars over from mainland Europe too...

Growing up my dad had a 65 Mercury Monterey almost identical to the Park Lane pictured. Only difference was it was the Marauder so it had the fastback style roof instead of the roll down rear glass, otherwise it was the same color and everything, I basically learned how to drive in that car. That 39 Bentley is pure art...
