Big Cats Out In Force At Goodwood Revival

JAGUAR will have a major presence at the sell-out 2014 Goodwood Revival, with the Lightweight E-type making its European debut at the event, while the firm’s new F-Type Project 7 will be on show in the Earls Court Motor Show-themed exhibition.

The 60th anniversary of the legendary D-type will be marked in style at Goodwood. On Saturday 12 September, the Lavant Cup race will be dedicated to the D-type with more than 20 examples of this legendary competition car competing in the first-ever motor race devoted entirely to the D-type.

On Revival Friday and Sunday, a spirited parade of D-types will take place around the Goodwood circuit, with a record number of examples of the racing Jaguar gathered in one place.

Following its recent unveiling at Pebble Beach, where it wowed the spectators, the Lightweight E-type continuation model – being built at Browns Lane by the new Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations – will make its much-anticipated European debut at the Goodwood Revival.

In addition, another 25 or so Jaguars and Jaguar-powered cars will be competing wheel-to-wheel at the Goodwood motor circuit over the Revival weekend, with racing C-types and E-types, plus Mark I and Mark VII saloons out in force.

Away from the excitement of the on-track racing, numerous historic Jaguar models will be present at Goodwood too, with team support cars dotted around the paddocks, and examples of almost every classic Jaguar model parked in the Revival Car Show car park for pre-1966 vehicles, based over the road from the Goodwood circuit.
