I’m not as pessimistic as @skaanning, but I do wonder how the interest in our hobby will be sustained once all us older enthusiasts have “moved on”. There are…[Læs mere]

We have driven across much of Spain and are doing it again in February, but in a modern BMW and on regular roads, which are largely excellent. You are right about the diversity of the landscape and cities, not…[Læs mere] -

I like them, and the German restoration is stunning, but as you say, the seller will wait a very long time…[Læs mere]

Tiden er imod dem, så […] VisThe trend for ’50s classics to fall in price is also clear here in the UK and perhaps the best example is the Jaguar XK. While few are as cheap as the example above, they are at least 25-30% cheaper than only 3-4 years ago.
My sweet spot for classics – like most ViaRETRO readers, I suspect – has always been the ’60s and ’70s, but I can think of…[Læs mere] -

I think it’s the sheer variety of classics, from the everyday to the exotic, that turn up at a Bicester Scramble that make such events so interesting, and why I keep going back, even after having been to probably 12-15 over the last few years; there are always some surprises.

How could anyone let such fabulous cars just decay, some to the point of them being nothing more than a lump of scrap metal? Miura’s, 300SLs, 911s, Pagoda’s…the 365GT pictured isn’t worth $5, never mind $25-35k. At least some of the cars – the 356’s pictured and some of the…[Læs mere]

It reminds me quite a bit of the Megaphonics event I went to last month, with many very special Porsches. One of my fellow Porsche Club GB members drove to Copenhagen for it, said he had an excellent time. I’ll have to keep an eye open to see if it comes to the UK.

A Day at the Goodwood Revival – Without Seeing Any Racing (!)
Thanks to some less than pleasant weather, […]-
VIldt mange flotte fotos af fede biler. Men jeg syntes faktisk ikke regnen var så dominerende – det ødelagde ihvertfald ikke alt for meget mener jeg (lagde dog en dæmper på nogle shows). Jeg husker dette års GR for 100 andre gode ting:-)
-
Som førstegangs besøgende, så ignorerede jeg regnen, og søgte husly i div telte, drivers lounge, guest sections etc i mangel på paraply, og ved nogle af de lejligheder, havde jeg så heller ikke de nødvendige sildesalats hænge tags permits, så gav jeg vagterne en god historie, og kom forbi 9 ud af 10 gange…. En god ven udtrykte før afgang, at der er stor chance for at du bliver hooked af Goodwood…. Det er jeg så, og med alt det jeg nåede at se og opleve i alle tørvejrs perioderne, så erkender jeg jo også at jeg på ingen måde nåede rundt om alt…. Så jeg er på¨til 2025…. Ses Kh M.

Jeg er enig, @iggy: Tonys beskrivelse af tilgangen via mudrede gang- og kørearealer er meget præcis, men jeg tror problemerne blev grundlagt fredag, hvor der kom en del regn. Ellers synes jeg også balancen mellem sol og regn var udmærket – der der er nemlig ingen tvivl om at regnen gjorde nogle af løbene endnu mere spændende, og det er svært underholdende at se en duel mellem en Mini og en Galaxie :-).
Billedet herunder er fra søndag morgen – egentlig som enhver søndag morgen burde være :-). Senere kom der regnbyger, men da jeg havde paddockadgang brugte jeg tiden inde under halvtagene til at nørde biler og detaljer. For mig er det en stor del af charmen ved Goodwood. Den centrale paddock hvor de dyreste biler står kræver en adgangsgivende billet (der er flere varianter af dem), men der er flere paddockområder og de andre er der fri adgang til – hvor BRM V16’eren stod, eksempelvis. Så der er sådan set nok at se til, synes jeg.
@tony-wawryk, likewise a pleasure to meet you and below photo is a coffee-cheers to you for this brilliant report! (Notice the sun!)

Og da vi mødtes var der jo også høj sol, @michael-valentiner-branth! Godt at se dig og fuldt forståeligt, at du også blev grebet af Goodwood Revival. Så ses vi måske næste år igen :-)

The Prelude! Ohh, yes – and the colour is perfect too. Or the Monza on crossspokes. And the Droop Snoot. Yes please.
That the Montego was anything special in Estate form has absolutely escaped me so far – and looking at your photo it sort of still does. But then I always liked the “ordinary” Montego and in MG form, even without the Turbo, it had very decent go too. Now a Turbo Estate might be something…
I thought that Prelude was terrific value for money, I’ll be surprised if it didn’t sell at the show.
Sorry, my mistake re the Jaguar Estates, I misremembered the stand – there are a lot of Jaguar clubs. I’ll ask for it to be corrected. No need to be rude, though, Michelle.
Hi Paul, I have asked for it to be corrected by the editor, it may take a few hours as this website is run and written for and by classic car enthusiasts like yourself, done in our free time – we’re not professional reporters and I made an honest error, apologies again. This is a huge show to cover and I forgot to double check the stand name – not a mistake I’ll make again! And thank you for the extra info – the estates stood out among the 3,000-plus cars on show, which was why I singled them out.
Flot begivenhed og utrolige køretøjer. Der er en til hver drømmegarage. Den Jaguar Estate er super, anede ikke Jaguar byggede nogle af dem også i deres produktionslinje.
Wow, @michelle must surely be the bookkeeper of the XJ40 Register – or maybe the bouncer? I was glad to read that the cars on the stand were better than her attitude though and that Tony visited to document this – I am not sure I would dare if Michelle was around :-).
The mistake is indeed corrected now. Next up I need to find some thorn branches to whip myself with. Or buy an XJ40. Whichever comes first.
No worries, it is all used up now, @paul – running on empty. I am glad you notice the difference between sarcasm and offensive. Now we can get back to the cars, surely.
The empire…
