Bugatti Type 54, Maserati 6CM, Jaguar D-Type, Ferrari 250 GTO, Commer PB. All names that stir the soul and all on the guest list for this years' Goodwood Revival.We've done it! We're in! Daisy has been invited for display inside the circuit at this years' Revival! The Telegraph sell newspapers from a slighlty ratty converted Highwayman which I believe lives at the circuit, but other than that, this is the first time a PB has been invited as a display vehicle.
As you may imagine I'm more chuffed than a chuffed thing at a chuffed convention. I will admit to a little arm twisting, I pointed out that my Dad was a very early member of the Goodwood Supporters Association (the precursor to the current Goodwood Road Racing Company), and in his Local Councillor capacity spent some considerable time lobbying the Secretary of State (during the planning processes) to re-open the circuit. This together with Daisys obvious charms must have done the trick. I got a message "we’d be absolutely delighted to include ‘Daisy’ within the event. She looks fantastic, and is very much in keeping with what we want to achieve."
Hopefully I can get some more piccies like this:
If any of you good folks are going perhaps we could arrange to meet up somewhere?
I'm currently doing the best I can for another member whose van is under consideration for display. I couldn't possibly divulge who that may be, but let's hope that Lord March has a TV Licence........
