MASERATI AT THE 20th GOODWOOD REVIVAL

Last weekend, Maserati took part in the 20th anniversary of the glamorous Goodwood Revival held at the famous racing circuit in West Sussex which captures the automotive world as it was from 1948 to 1966 with both competitors and spectators in period dress.

As an Automotive Partner of Goodwood Revival, Maserati once again took part in the Earl’s Court Motor Show with a display inspired by the marque’s classic 1960s motor show stands. Maserati’s future and past appeared in perfect harmony, as Maserati showcased the brands first SUV, the Levante GranLusso, finished in Blu Emozione with Zegna interiors alongside the executive saloon, the Ghibli GranSport in Bianco Alpi. The two modern cars were joined on the stand by a stunning red 1964 Sebring Series 1.

Over twenty classic Maserati models, including a 3500GT, Tipo 61 ‘Birdcage’ along with five examples of the iconic 250F, were competing at Revival, featuring in races across the three-day event. Maserati cars took to the circuit competing in the Kinrara Trophy, Goodwood Trophy, Freddie March Memorial Trophy, Richmond & Gordon Trophies and Sussex Trophy. Highlights from the weekend included a victory in the Goodwood Trophy on Saturday afternoon for former British GT Champion Callum Lockie in the 1938 Maserati 6CM, as well as a fifth-place finish in the Freddie March Memorial Trophy for Conrad Ulrich in a 1955 Maserati 300S.

Guests of Maserati were able to experience old-world glamour at the Revival, enjoying exclusive hospitality at Goodwood House on Sunday, and being chauffeur driven to and from the Revival in a fleet of Maserati Levante, Quattroporte and Ghibli models.

HAGERTY’S RENAISSANCE MEETING PROVES A WONDERFUL SUPPORT ACT FOR THE GOODWOOD REVIVAL

• The inaugural Hagerty Renaissance Meeting established to show live footage of the Goodwood Revival was attended by over 250 pre-tax vehicles and almost 1,000 people
• Goodwood’s live footage of their signature event wowed those who attended the Renaissance
• The Renaissance meeting echoed the Revival with all participants entering into the spirit of the event and dressing in vintage outfits

Last Sunday, 9th September, over 250 pre-tax vehicles arrived at Bicester Heritage to take part in the inaugural Hagerty Renaissance Meeting – An Alternative Revival, an opportunity for those unable to attend the Goodwood Revival to enjoy all the track activities from the historic race circuit in West Sussex on a large screen.

Classic vehicle insurance specialists Hagerty International created the event with the full backing of the Goodwood Revival team. Hosting the event at Bicester Heritage provided a truly exceptional backdrop to the screening. The event was complete with vintage hairdressers, the Home Guard in action, a few local air displays and everyone was dressed for the occasion.

The event also supported Goodwood’s chosen charity, the RAF Benevolent Fund and raised £255 for this excellent cause by giving away Renaissance pin badges in exchange for a donation to the charity.

‘We had a really terrific day, and everyone made such an effort to get into the spirit of the event with their vehicles, picnics and clothes. It was just like being at the event itself’ said Angus Forsyth, Managing Director of Hagerty International.

‘The Goodwood Revival still sets the benchmark for the classic car world and we were delighted that Bicester Heritage could play a part in sharing its magic’ said Dan Geoghegan Managing Director of Bicester Heritage. 

Participant, Pan Trudy said ‘Many thanks for to the team that organised the Renaissance at Bicester Heritage. This was the event of the year for us as we have done the Revival for the last 17 years, but due to ill health decided not to go, instead watched Friday and Saturday on Youtube. Please, please, please do it again next year; the atmosphere was great!’

Stylish duo Gary and Linda Davis won a pair of tickets to the Revival 2019 after being judged ‘Best Dressed Couple’, their outfits complete with lots of ‘50s accessories such as a Roberts radio, retro turntable and with a stunning Chevrolet. ‘We love Goodwood’ said Gary ‘but were not able to attend this year, so the Renaissance is the perfect way to enjoy the Revival without actually bring present. It’s a brilliant idea and we’ve had a great day.’

The centrepiece will be the March Motor Works, this year set in the swinging ‘60’s. The Works include a period Rolls‑Royce showroom, recapturing the sights, sounds and atmosphere of one the marque’s glamorous locations during the same period.

Within the showroom, a stunning 1966 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud III Continental Drophead Coupé by Mulliner Park Ward will be displayed. The exquisite four-seater played a central role in the 1966 British film classic, ‘Blow-Up’, directed by Michelangelo Antonioni and starring David Hemmings, Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles and internationally renowned ‘Super Model’, Veruschka. The authentic set features a promotion for the film, with actors portraying the stars being interviewed on set for a period fashion magazine.

Finished in ivory over black and one of very few made with Hooper rear windows, this splendid touring limousine will form part of the Course Director’s entourage.
