Yes indeedy. Even if you are not a fan of motorsport, soaking up the atmosphere, entertainment and period characters will keep you busy all day.
It was almost too tempting as I went and missed the race with the Minor in it!

The St Marys Trophy?

That was perhaps the best race of the whole day. And Seeing an A40 get on its side at the chicane was something nobody ever expected!

Jings! Almost terrifying

Ive never seen a Minor move so fast. It held its own and took the corners much better than most. Does anyone know more about this fantastic car?

Goodwood was fantastic - loved seeing this minor and a 4 door black one holding its own against Jaguars, etc. I went on Sunday and there was also a moving remembrance event re: Battle of Britain as well as a great flypast.

Only the essentials; twin carb 1293cc, whacking great anti-rollbar on the front, anti-tramp bars and panhard rod on the . Oh, and BMC would love to hear that it appeared to be without telescopic shocks.
When i get my act together I'll get some more photo's up.

Looks like it had a fair racing history before the restoration and needed quite a bit of work.
