Classic cars heading to Goodwood

Goodwood will be welcoming lots of classic Minis this year to help the brand celebrate its 50th birthday.

Events in July and September are scheduled at the West Sussex location and the range of Minis might be tempting for those who are fans of the car.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed hillclimb event is set to involve Richard Longman and John Rhodes in their 1275 GTs and Coopers, while the Revival will include a one-off saloon car race for pre-1966 Minis.

A parade of 50 of the vehicles - and their various incarnations - is also going to take place, involving modified Minis made into ice cream vans, pickup trucks and more.

Experts such as John Fitzpatrick, Alec Poole and Warwick Banks have arranged to make an appearance at Goodwood this summer, so it might be a nice day out for enthusiasts as well as those who just want to have a look at some unusual motors.

Mini is owned by BMW.
