Thank you Sir! What a wonderful video tribute and touching reminder of automobiles long gone from public streets. As a young Anglophile gearhead in the 1960’s and 70’s living in Seattle, I was fortunate to own and drive many of the production cars pictured. 10-20 year old English cars were extremely cheap to buy. MG’s, Triumphs, Mini’s, and Morris’s could be had in running condition for $75-$500. Big Healy’s and Jaguar saloons were $1000-$2000. E Types were $1200 for a running Series I. Dad bought a 1963 XKE OTS with 36k on the clock in excellent condition for $2600. I bought an XK 120 FHC for $450 and kept it 40 years. Several nice 356 Porsches were had for $1400-$3100. I put myself through college flipping and fixing these wonderfully charismatic autos, all the while street racing them on Saturday nights. I share this not to brag, but to demonstrate a little historical perspective for those of you arriving later. Back in the day foreign cars were looked down on by most Americans, especially by my peers in High School. Few could appreciate the light lively handling of an MG, the seemingly hewn from billet quality of a 356 Porsche, or worst of all being passed and left for dead by an E Type Jaguar that had another gear and another 30 mph on top. It grieves me to see how inaccessible these cars have become to ordinary folk. Nowadays Bug Eye Sprites are trading at $20,000. Madness.
Thank you for your reminiscences. A friend of mine had a Healey 200/6 and a blonde to go with it when I was at college and my brother had a frog-eyed Sprite.
What a fantastic video you have done Sir. You should be very proud of yourself. Not just for you , but for all the people who were not there. Keep it up.
Goodwood circuit is incredible, as it looks just as it did before it closed; daffodils and all, ha, ha. The Revival and Members Meetings are fantastic. Loved your film.
Excellent video! This was the first Revival I have missed since the original 1998 event, sadly due to a family crisis - if I had been there I would probably have stood right next to you !!
Now that's what I call a well-done video. Great camerawork, excellent stills, and ideal pacing. I especially enjoyed the relaxed presentation - informative, full of content, but nicely understated. Bravo, sir! You definitely captured the mood. 🙂
Thank you, I wanted to explain more about the experience of attending and what the event was all about rather than show cars whizzing round a track. I hope it came across
THAT was a very expensive day out. The good thing is - it does NOT affect the originality or value of the car. It just adds another page to the history and provenance... But it does cost a LOT of money.
@@davidlong1786 - Because they are racing cars - they will almost certainly - like 99% guaranteed - not be 100% original as made in the factory. Racing cars were raced, sold - modified, raced again, crashed, sold - rebuilt, raced again, modified, modified again, abandoned, restored - they have just been crashed again as long as they are repaired in line with the original methods it really wont affect the value. Some of these cars have already been crashed 4 or 8 times in their lives. Its only in recent years that racing cars are treated as sacred after they race - they used to get sold for peanuts. I lived in Woodkirk in West Yorkshire as a kid - the garage at the back of me - a Peugeot dealership - had 3 - 2nd hand F1 cars from the early 70's sat out the back rotting. The son of the owner used to race a bit and when he got bored with it the cars just got parked in the back. The idea of them being sacred is really new - one of the Brahmam Fan cars, a really important car, it was cut up for scrap cos they were short on space!!! So they will get a metal beater to remake the pannels and it will be back to racing in 18 months.
This is more exciting to me than any modern F1 race. Take me back to those days where men were men, women were women, and you could tell the difference.
Hello, Joyce! Yes indeed. I felt I should have been wearing a floaty floral summer dress, a headscarf, and great big goggly sunglasses to enjoy this video to the full! 😁
To be fair, watching some paint dry can be more exciting than a modern F1 race! I don't think you can beat a meeting like this. Older cars with various types and makes all competing together. Cars sliding through the corners and overtaking and being overtaken again. That's what racing should be!
Always a good event, I was there and saw the GT40/LolaT70 incident, such a shame but it proves that all the cars there are really racing, not just doing parade laps.
When this popped up in my feed and I saw that it wasn't a Goodwood video, I suspected clickbait. I couldn't have been more wrong. This was very well done, and showed aspects of Goodwood not seen in other videos. Great job!
I have only posted a few videos and am a novice when it comes to distribution. Could you explain "popped up in my feed" and what was it that made you think it was "clickbait" .Thanks for your kind comments.
@@electronpilot When I open RUclips, I'm presented with a lot of video thumbnails suggested by RUclips based on my viewing habits; that's what I meant by "popped up on my feed". When I first saw your thumbnail it caught my eye immediately; very good photo choice on your part. At first glance I expected it to be a Goodwood video, as I subscribe to their channel and watch a lot of their videos. When I noticed that the channel was "electronpilot" and not Goodwood, I thought that it might be one of those channels that uses an evocative thumbnail to attract views with inferior content that does not feature the subject in the photo at all; we've all run into those on RUclips. But when I actually watched the video, I was impressed. My preconceptions led me down the wrong path; your thumbnail and content were both spot on, so in my opinion you're doing things right. I just have to be less cynical.
Still shot of the 2 Ferraris colliding was heart breaking. Don't believe drivers should have been pushing them that hard, but then again, I ain't the one paying to play at the game. Still a shame to see the carnage of two beautiful cars... Great Vid, well composed, thanks...
Yes, apologies. I have been told by those more knowledgeable than me (see Meltdown Man below) that it is a DB3S. I used the description on page 37 of the Official Programme which is clearly wrong! I have amended my original video but unfortunately RUclips does not have an amendment procedure without losing the viewing figures for the original (I think).
I took the photograph at 11:56 on Friday. It is in amongst car numbers 5, 44 and 97 which are in the Whitsun Trophy practice but there is no car number 23 in this race! I mistakenly put it down to the entrant in the Sussex Trophy. The only other car with number 23 is a Lotus-Climax 18 which it clearly is not. Incidentally there is no Lotus 23 listed in any race but I bow to your greater knowledge
@@electronpilot Also, in that opening montage, the "Aston-Martin DB3 Coupé" is an Aston Martin DBR, and is definitely NOT a "coupé." And the "AC Bristol Monoposto" is neither of those -- it's a Lister-Jaguar, and clearly not a single-seater.
@@robertobrien9706 Apologies to you and MeltdownMan. I blindly copied the Aston from the Official Programme when it is so obviously not a coupé. It must have been getting late when I misnamed the Lister-Jaguar "Knobbly". I must take more drugs to keep myself alert. Best regards.
Thanks for sharing; so glad I've lived when I have; cars that had character; now most of those modern LMP cars look the same; and it's not a good look.
I think you will find the was a 1960/61 model. A TV series called Danger Man featured one at that particular time. The series morphed into the cult TV series called "Prisoner"
It's a '59, owned by Bill Shepherd, driven this year by Romain Dumas. It was also driven by 9 time LeMans winner Tom Kristensen in '17, who had an epic and highly entertaining run going until being DQ'd when the exhaust fell off.
Jeff, you say "the cars that we male"; is this a particular company with which you are involved or do you mean cars made in your country? In either case I would be interested to know so I can put your comments in context. Incidentally, we (the British) must be proud that the P51 Mustang was fitted with a Rolls Royce Merlin 66 engine manufactured under licence by Packard when the American Allison V-1710 was found to be inadequate. This transformed the aircraft's performance particularly above 15,000 feet and it could then compete with the Luftwaffe's fighters.
@@electronpilot I 'Minned' many cars in mine. Loved spanking 2600cc Rover SD1s. Couldn't quite have a well driven V8 though. I remember being overtaken on the way home from work one night by a 4.5L Mercedes SL in what i took to be an offensive manor. Shot past me and then cut me up. It surprised me because with it's rectangular headlights i thought it was a Metro! When he turned right to take the country lane short cut (as i'd been praying for) i planted myself on his bumper just before a tight left hand bend and floored it as we came out as soon as i saw the road was clear and kept it floored. The lane was twisty for the next mile and a half and i left him far behind me. I drove this lane every day and knew it like the back of my hand. He caught me up half a mile into the 30MPH section of the next village flashing his lights at me wanting to race. I'd made my point and waved him past 😁
The photos were taken in the reverse order on Friday and so it is possible that the wing was dented in the practice session before the Moss parade but examining the photo in high resolution I can find no scuff marks in the paint and I don't remember noting that it had been dented. It may be just a trick of the light. Look out for footage of it taken by others on Saturday & Sunday.
I'll bet 100% of the people there INCLUDING the owners of those two cars would disagree!!!!! Racing cars are meant to be used. The alternative is that they are scrapped, kept in a garage or a museum...
You are making the assumption that they are owner drivers. Often these drivers don't own the cars they drive. Unless you know what happened your comment is stupid. All we see are pictures of the incident NOT what lead up to it!

Sadly from 2030 on all the combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in EU :-( In Germany the Green party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one single state operated station per city. :-( And also China banned all combustion cars worldwide from 2030. China told most politicians that they wont do any business with underdeveloped countries that still allow CO2 emitting traffic or combustion based industry after 2030...I am sure USA and UK also will be forced by China to 100% electric traffic because today no industrialized country can afford sanctions by China.... China just rules the world...:-(

Thank you Sir! What a wonderful video tribute and touching reminder of automobiles long gone from public streets. As a young Anglophile gearhead in the 1960’s and 70’s living in Seattle, I was fortunate to own and drive many of the production cars pictured. 10-20 year old English cars were extremely cheap to buy.

Dad bought a 1963 XKE OTS with 36k on the clock in excellent condition for $2600. I bought an XK 120 FHC for $450 and kept it 40 years. Several nice 356 Porsches were had for $1400-$3100.

Lovely review. Ye Gods, I had a 107E.

That accident was due to pure stupidity.

But it does cost a LOT of money.
@@piccalillipit9211 I fail to see how that wouldn't effect the value since they have to replace several things with non original period parts.
