Earls Court at Revival
1948 show recreated

Goodwood to recreate the 1948 Earls Court Motor Show at this year's Revival meeting

 
The challenging sweeps and bends of the historic Goodwood track will not be the only curves to watch at this year's Revival. It's great to see such nice bodywork on the cars, and the girls.

Hailed by many as the greatest motor show of all time, the 1948 event held at Earls Court saw the unveiling of great cars, such as the Jaguar XK120, Rover P4 and Morris Minor – and to celebrate its 60th anniversary, Goodwood has announced that it will host a recreation at this year’s Revival meeting on September 19-21.

The Goodwood Earls Court Motor Show area will take its inspiration from the celebrated London Motor Shows, and features an Art Deco frontage reminiscent of the famous exhibition centre. This spacious new area will give meeting visitors an insight into how motoring of the future might look from a pre-1966 perspective.

The Revival meeting, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year is famed for not allowing post-1966 cars on site during the Revival weekend, but the Earls Court recreation will allow the event to break free, and display some of the industry’s latest models.

Manufacturer displays will feature 1950s and 1960s, cars as well as the future-modern concepts. Car manufacturers confirmed for the 'motor show of the future' will include Maserati, Jaguar, BMW, Ford and Rolls-Royce.

There will be a central concours d'elegance exhibition commemorating 'the Fastest Car in the World', featuring around 25 performance cars from the 1920s to today.

Goodwood Revival founder, Lord March, said, ‘The challenging sweeps and bends of the historic Goodwood track will not be the only curves to watch at this year's Revival. It's great to see such nice bodywork on the cars, and the girls.’
