Goodwood Moving Motor Show 2012 by Simon Ford (@Sf4d74) and Hemmings News, (@Hemmingsnews)

Goodwood’s Moving Motor show is held yearly as a prequel to Goodwood’s Festival of Speed.

Since there is no official British Motor show anymore, Goodwood has become Britains Biggest and best unofficial motor show, but with a difference!.

Apart from manufacturer’s showcasing there latest products and ideas, there is also a Formula 1, Rally, and Super car paddocks to get up close and personal with Legendary cars of the past and present throughout the said Genre’s, also if your lucky enough manufacturer’s will give you a ride up the famous Goodwood hill in their cars by means of an invite or by simply signing up and waiting your turn for a go.

Now In it’s 3rd year and sponsored by www.Autotrader.co.uk Simonscarspots and www.Hemmings.com were invited by Autotrader to come along and enjoy a great day out.

But what sort of Combined article could We do, I hear you ask there’s so much to do and see and most people only Highlight the best bits, So We’ve decided to take you around Goodwood exactly as We visited it, so be prepared to see loads of photos sit back and enjoy Goodwood Moving Motor Show.

Before you get to the main gates there is usually a mini event to go and see, this year was no different the topic being Aviation, but being Simonscarspots we didn’t take any plane pics, but did spot this Zonda on the way in.

Anyway upto the main event we headed to the testdrive area where We went straight to RollsRoyce to see their Ghost and Ghost convertible.

Wandering around each and every manufacturer’s stand’s, enjoying the freedom of being allowed to walk around the paddocks in awe of the Legendary cars past and present, private cars from the collections of Individuals/companys that they’re proud to own and display for everybody to see and get very very close too.

Just remains for Us  to say a big thank you to Autotrader uk for supplying us with this years tickets,
