From September 18 through September 20, 2009, the Goodwood Revival meet in the U.K. will honor the Mini and miniskirts.The gathering will include a large number of rare and famous Mini cars. The event will also hold the St Mary’s Trophy saloon car race which will be dedicated to 2 Mini Cooper S models, only of a type that raced prior to 1966. A full 30-car grid of 1275cc Mini Coopers will also participate in the race. During parade laps there will be unusual Minis on the track such as ice cream vans, Wildgoose motor homes and bizarre publicity machines, as well as more familiar versions of the popular car, ranging from the original 1959 Austin Seven and Morris Mini Minor, through to Coopers, Hornets and Elfs, vans and pick-up trucks. Female visitors are being encouraged to wear their mini skirts and stroll down a recreation of the Swinging Sixties Carnaby Street.
