To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the re-opening of the 1948 Motor Show, Goodwood has announced the recreation of this classic motoring event, as held immediately postwar at Earls Court. Goodwood's Earls Court facility will add an exciting new element to the annual Goodwood Revival meeting, the world's most authentic historic motor race meeting.

Car manufacturers confirmed to be exhibiting at this 'motor show of the future' will include Maserati, Jaguar, BMW, Ford and Rolls-Royce.
