Rolls-Royce celebrates 2017 Goodwood Revival in the U.K.

Rolls-Royce celebrated the 2017 Goodwood Revival last weekend with a significant presence at the legendary motor circuit. The centrepiece was the March Motor Works, this year renamed Gordon Galleries, echoing the shopping arcades of 1950's central London, U.K. The Galleries included a period Rolls-Royce showroom, recapturing the sights, sounds and atmosphere of the marque's glamorous premises in London's West End during the same period.

Within the showroom, a stunning 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith Extended Wheelbase was displayed, with a body by Freestone & Webb. Finished in black over red, the car was first presented at the 1956 British International Motor Show at Earl's Court, London. Rolls-Royce was represented on the famous motor circuit itself throughout the event by a handsome 1966 Rolls-Royce Phantom V Touring Limousine (PV 23 design), with a body by coachbuilder James Young.

An exclusive fleet of contemporary Rolls-Royce motor cars was also evident in the Goodwood area during the Revival weekend with invited VIP guests being conveyed in luxury from the Company's manufacturing plant and head office on the south-eastern corner of the Goodwood Estate.
