Back To The Future

On July 25th Goodwood announced the recreation of the classic London Motor Show, in the same facility it was held post WW2, Earls Court.

Classic Rallies informs us:

The Goodwood Earls Court Motor Show exhibition area will take its inspiration from the celebrated London Motor Shows, with an original Art Deco frontage reminiscent of the glory days of exhibitions of the past. This spacious new area will give the expected 115,000 Goodwood Revival visitors an insight into how motoring of the future might look from a pre-1966 perspective, with a display of ‘futuristic’ 21st century cars.

Externally Earls Court looks like the entrance to a 1950s Motor Show, promising to display ‘cars of the future’ inside. As no post-1966 vehicles are ordinarily allowed on site during the Goodwood Revival, the Earls Court Motor Show will enable the event to break out of its ‘period’ time frame and display post-1966 vehicles. The effect will be like walking into a Tardis, offering other-worldly futuristic new cars to see, right up to and including manufacturers’ latest products.

This sounds like an all over experience, conceptually, as companies will be aloud to display items from the 1950’s or 60’s as modern day cars with concept cars of what futuristic cars will look like in the 21st century…to read more click here.
If you are a Classic car buff or not, this should be a great show to visit, both in terms of seeing great classic cars as well as looking at what concept cars for the future were at that point and comparing them to the cars of our present reality.
