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.

The Goodwood Earls Court Motor Show exhibition area will take its inspiration from the celebrated London Motor Shows, with an original Art Deco frontage reminiscent of the glory days of exhibitions of the past. This spacious new area will give the expected 115,000 Goodwood Revival visitors an insight into how motoring of the future might look from a pre-1966 perspective, with a display of 'futuristic' 21st century cars.

Externally Earls Court looks like the entrance to a 1950s Motor Show, promising to display 'cars of the future' inside. As no post-1966 vehicles are ordinarily
allowed on site during the Goodwood Revival, the Earls Court Motor Show will enable the event to break out of its 'period' timeframe and display post-1966 vehicles. The effect will be like walking into a Tardis, offering other-worldly futuristic new cars to see, right up to and including manufacturers' latest products.

Each stand will be presented in the style of a traditional Motor Show of the 1950s or 1960s. As with the rest of the Revival, the overall display will not be set in a specific timeframe, but rather at some unidentified point prior to 1966. Manufacturer displays are therefore expected to include contemporary cars of the 1950s or 1960s, as well as some 'concept' cars showing each company's visions of what production cars might look like in the early 21st Century. Car manufacturers confirmed to be exhibiting at this 'motor show of the future' will include Maserati, Jaguar, BMW, Ford and Rolls-Royce.
