What to see at the Goodwood Revival’s Earls Court Motor Show in 2026

03rd September 2026

While the Goodwood Revival presented by Dunlop is a celebration of the Motor Circuit’s original era of 1948-66, there is a place at the event where the past and future collide.

The Earls Court Motor Show is traditionally a venue for modern-day manufacturers to present their latest creations in a look to the future, but in 2026 it will also house the three Ford GT Mark IIs that stormed to the top three places at the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours.

Alpine’s stand on the central concours is all about the past, present and future. Four cars will be on display to showcase the evolution of the marque: a Berlinette, an A290 Lacoste Rallye, an A390 Art Car and an A390 with Alpine Future projections.

The projections on the ‘future’ car will be of the Alpine A110 Future and Alpine’s new Performance Chassis that will underpin all of its cars going forward. Visitors will get a glimpse of the next direction for the brand while reflecting on Alpine’s evolution through the decades in a blending of time befitting Earls Court.

A similar timeline forms the theme for the BMW stand, which will spotlight the Journey to Neue Klasse from the 1960s to the present day with four distinct and interactive zones. It starts with the Design Studio, which will take the form of a ’60s office to showcase the historic elements of design and BMW’s heritage.

Then comes the Sketchbook that will span from floor to ceiling to highlight various BMW designs throughout the years, followed by a Collage display that will depict the story of Neue Klasse. Advancing into the future, the latest iX3 will also be on display for visitors to enjoy a closer look, as will a showcase of the original Neue Klasse in the form of a BMW 1500, BMW 2000 and BMW 2002.

An explorer theme inspires the Jaguar Land Rover stand at Earls Court in 2026. Led by the Land Rover Defender, two other vehicles are set to be displayed in what will also be an exploration of the past, present and future of the brand, and with more details to be revealed the intrigue is already building as to what adventures JLR will take us on in Earls Court.

Joining these road cars is a trio of very significant historical racers that will make the Dunlop stand their home for the Revival weekend. Fresh from capturing hearts as a headline display at this year’s Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, the three original Ford GT Mk IIs that achieved Ford's iconic one-two-three sweep at the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours will return to Goodwood for a second, even more spectacular showcase.

Visitors will be able to marvel at these legendary machines up close at Earls Court before they fire up and make their way out onto the Motor Circuit for a demonstration each day of the Revival with some famous faces at the wheel. Plus, the Goodwood Shop will be present in Earls Court with the return of the incredibly popular GT40 t-shirt, so if you missed out on one of these beautiful designs at the Festival of Speed be sure to head over to Earls Court at the Revival to secure yourself the perfect souvenir.
