I was digging thru some of my older photos, and found some that might be of interest.

My wife & I went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed back in 2011. Jag was the featured marque, and the E-Type was the honored vehicle. We spent a full three days at Goodwood, and I had the best time of my life! (The trip was a birthday present from my wife.)

Some really great pics there Bob

Thanks for taking the time to share these...

 

Bob - great pics - thanks for sharing!

 

Sure thing, guys. Glad I was snooping around in my old pics archives!

One note - the big steel-pipe structure in one picture is artwork representing the XKE, which was the featured vehicle at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2011. When we first saw it, from straight-on, I thought somebody had set up a steam calliope. Much more impressive from the side...

Actually, I'd have preferred a more involved sculpture, like the racetrack Lotus used with several F1 cars on it last year, or the 'popsicle' Porsche 917's they did years ago. Still, Goodwood should be on every car person's bucket-list! Now, I want to go to the Goodwood Revival!

Thanks for sharing. Being a newbie on this forum and a new 96 XJS owner, and seeing these pictures, I'm really appreciating how beautiful these cars are.
