    Official Release: Virtually no other historical motor-sport event transports visitors back to the flair and glamour of yesteryear as stylishly as the Goodwood Revival. The successful racing history of MINI and BMW makes the Goodwood Revival the focal point for presenting some fascinating vehicles taken from the illustrious past of both brands. “For BMW Group Classic, the Goodwood Revival is one of the highpoints in the classic calendar,” enthuses Karl Baumer, Director of BMW Group Classica, about the weekend in the South of England.

    This year, two vehicles from Munich will compete for the St. Mary’s Trophy. A very new scion from the motor-sport collection will line up at the start for MINI. Since the beginning of this year, an Austin Mini Cooper S Competition from 1964 has been completely rebuilt in the workshop of the motor-sport division at BMW Group Classic. “We want to remind everyone that MINI also brought home numerous victories on racing tracks alongside its outstanding successes in rally racing,” explains Friedrich Nohl, Head of the Motor-sport Division at BMW Group Classic, commenting on the motivation for the restoration project.
