Nice series.

The last time I've been to Goodwood was at the Jaguar E-Type 50th Anni.

- Do they still have the food van with the Eggs and Bacon Baps for breaky?

- I have the impression that the ladies garments are more American 50/60's style than English.

- Is the biker riding a Norton single cylinder 500cc?

- 1. Yes, they still do.
- 2. Perhaps my shooting bias ;-)
- 3. Norton Mans 500cc from 1953 driven by Glenn English and John McGuinness during the Barry Sheene Memorial

I liked this one a lot: Rudge Special (500cc) from 1938:




and was truly impressed by their speed in the rain, even looking over their shoulder just after rounding a corner (Norton 30M from 1953):

Peter, I'm overwhelmed by the amount and the variation of this photogenic opportunity.  And you surely captured great moments.  I'm simply amazed!  And I would not hesitate to echo Olivier.  Thanks for sharing.

Always wondered if it would be worth going there. Now I know: yes, it is!
Thanks for sharing and adding some story background, Peter.
