Our 1967 Mini, ready for paint

The preparation of our 1967 Austin Mini is now complete. Next week we’ll be wheeling the bodyshell into our paint bay to be treated to a nice new coat of Surf Blue and Old English White.

Goodwood 78th Member’s Meet Rescheduled

Issued on Wednesday 13th May 2020 by Goodwood Motorsport, The Duke of Richmond and Gordon:

Over the last few weeks, the team have been exploring a variety of new dates for the 78th Members’ Meeting, which was due to take place on 28-29 March.

After careful consideration and in light of the ongoing Coronavirus situation and the UK Government’s latest advice on mass gatherings, we have taken the decision to postpone the 78th Members’ Meeting until 2021, with the provisional dates being 10-11 April 2021.

Previous racing and demo announcements, like the exciting Rally Sprint, two-heat Gerry Marshall Trophy and the insane S.F. Edge Trophy are all planned to take place. In the meantime, we are continuing to work on a range of options concerning both the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard and the Goodwood Revival for later this year, and will report back within the next few weeks with our plans.

If you have any further questions, please visit our Coronavirus FAQs or contact the Ticket Office team at ticket.office@goodwood.com.

Please bear in mind that in order to comply with Government guidelines, we have a reduced team who are dealing with a high number of enquiries and we will contact you as soon as we possibly can.

I’d like to thank you for your continued support, understanding and patience during what has been a challenging time for all of us.

Kindest regards The Duke of Richmond and Gordon

Highlights from 2019 Goodwood 77th Member’s Meet

Barn Find: 1960 AC Aceca BE 812

Arriving into our Suffolk workshops very soon we have our very special and rare 1960 AC Aceca BE 812 barn find.

The car has been dry stored since it was taken off the road in 1985. Previously owned and residing in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia the car was shipped to the UK in 1962 and has remained with the same owner ever since.

We will be working alongside the family who own this beautiful car to assess it’s current condition and come up with a plan which may see the possible return to the UK roads in the not too distant future.

Mini 850 Electric Car – very close to paint

Our 1967 Austin Mini 850 is very close to paint preparation stage now. With the majority of the new panels and repair work having now been completed Darren will look at final stages of re-shaping. When he is happy the car will move on to paint preparation before we apply the new Surf blue and Old English white.
