Vintage at Goodwood Festival Coming

After introducing the Moving Motor Show as a premiere earlier this year, Goodwood is now bringing a new annual festival, called Vintage at Goodwood.

The event, which will be held between 13 and 15 August, will be dedicated to celebrating five decades of British retro.

An amazing new annual festival celebrating five decades of British cool from the 1940s through to the 1980s. Vintage at Goodwood will bring together and celebrate the music, fashion, film, art, dance and design from the most culturally influential era of the 20th Century to create an experience like no other,” stated the press release.

The festival will be packed with classic cars and bikes, hot rods, scooters, commercial vehicles, camper vans and caravans, with popular vehicles from each decade. In addition to that, the show will also include top fashions, dance, design DJs, art, a Vintage High Street and live music with a long list of artist scheduled to perform.

From the 1940s expect to see popular family cars from Ford, Austin and Morris, as well as more exotic Rolls-Royce and Jaguar models of the era. From the 1950s, the ‘British is Best’ MGA and Vauxhall Velox will rub wing mirrors with taxis and GPO vans.  Many of Britain’s most iconic cars of the 1960s will be on hand, including the Jaguar E-Type, Aston Martin DB5 and pioneering Mini, with motoring legends of the 1970s including the Ford Capri, Triumph 2500 and Jaguar XJ6, amongst others. The 1980s will include an Austin Metro, Ford Sierra XR4i and Lotus Esprit Turbo,” stated the press release.

The organizers also see the event as an “appetite-whetter” for the Goodwood revival, which will be held one moth later, from 17 to 19 September, as an authentic historic motor race meeting.
