The week after the Pendine VHRA event, we went down to Hampshire to visit relatives.
Spotted these on the way down and wondered if there was something old car-wise going on.
Anyway, the spare room wasn't ready, and we had Thomas Cook vouchers to use by the end of September, so we stayed in a hotel. when we got there late Friday afternoon we realised that yes, there was something going on old car-wise.
The Goodwood Revival!
There was loads of cool stuff around the hotel grounds.
1937 Bentley 6 1/2 litre. This sounded awesome.
So on the Saturday, we headed into Fareham for the Bygone Fareham show in the town centre.
Morris 8 series E tourer was quite a rare thing. Production was halted due to Adolf taking his holidays without prior booking.
I know there's a lot of love here for these Standards. This was completely unrestored.
I'd never seen one of these in the metal before. They're a lot smaller than you'd think.
Interceptor had an interesting badge on the grille
SP? Whassat then?
Oh yes, Sixpack. On a 440. Now that's what you call a bigblock!
The inevitable Minor pics
By Jupiter!
Not sure if this was a genuine works car, the owner wasn't anywhere near to ask.
There were a lot of Minis there, but this one stood out.
So on the Sunday, we went to Beaulieu, well it'd be rude not to!
There was a Top Gear display there.
The original reasonably-priced car
Everyone should have an Allard on their wall!
There was also a James Bond display
Back to the non-Bond stuff.
The original Bluebird
One from somewhere in the middle
The last one
Another Allard, this one's probably the most famous
If there's one car that can epitomise the Golden Age of Hollywood, it's this.
V16 1.5 litre
Where Jaguar started.
The original Regal
There was also some cool stuff in the car park
On the way Home we stopped at the motorway services and spotted this, and then realised that the Hot Rod Drags was also on that weekend.
