One of the highlights of the annual Goodwood Revival historic motor race meeting, due to be held from 31 August to 2 September this year, is the St Mary's Trophy race for period saloon cars, like your father used to drive.
Following last year's thrilling St Mary's Trophy saloon car race for 1950s machinery, in 2007 it's the turn of the 1960s cars again.
Once more leviathan American racers such as the Ford Galaxie, Falcon and Mustang will compete against the Mini Cooper, Lotus Cortina Mk1, Alfa Romeo 1600 GTA, Jaguar MK II and BMW 1800 TiSA, in an another epic David and Goliath battle. They will be joined by more unusual racers such as Mercedes-Benz 300SE and Vauxhall VX4/90 as well as Revival debuts for Wolseley Hornet, Chevrolet Corvair Corsa and Mercury Comet Cyclone.
The St Mary's Trophy remains a two-part race staged on both Saturday and Sunday with aggregate result. Celebrity touring car drivers will again pair up with the cars' owners - expect to see: Sir Stirling Moss (Ford-Lotus Cortina MkI)
Derek Bell (Ford Mustang)
Jackie Oliver (Ford Galaxie 500)
Henri Pescarolo (Ford Falcon Sprint)
Hurley Haywood (Chevrolet Corvair Monza)
Marc Surer (BMW 1800TiSA)
