About Goodwood
Goodwood merchandise represents more than just branded apparel – it’s authentic motorsport heritage you can wear and use. The historic sporting estate in West Sussex has grown into one of the world’s best‑known homes of classic and modern motorsport since the 2.37‑mile Motor Circuit was created in 1948 using the perimeter roads of the former RAF Westhampnett airfield.
Whether it’s the Festival of Speed, the Revival, or the Members’ Meeting, Goodwood understands that classic car culture isn’t just about the machinery – it’s about heritage, craftsmanship, and a certain approach to life. Their collections capture that perfectly, offering gifts that feel authentic rather than mass-produced. These are pieces that will actually get worn, used, and appreciated rather than shoved in a drawer.
From period-correct racing apparel to beautifully produced books celebrating motorsport history, here are ten gifts from Goodwood that any classic car owner would genuinely love to unwrap.

Driving Gloves & Accessories
Revival String-Back Driving Gloves
The Goodwood Revival isn’t just a vintage race meeting – it’s a three-day celebration where 150,000 people dress in period clothing. These driving gloves are exactly how racing gloves were made back in the 1950s and 60s, from soft leather with traditional string-back construction. Whether navigating Alpine passes or simply for weekend drives, these are the real deal.
Touchscreen Leather Driving Gloves
These Goodwood Touchscreen Leather Driving Gloves for women combine classic motoring elegance with modern tech. Sleek leather and subtle detailing make them smart enough for events or everyday wear, while the touchscreen fingertips mean you can use your phone or navigation without taking them off. They are also available in men’s sizes, making it easy to gift matching pairs for couples who share a love of Goodwood and stylish winter drives.
Motor Circuit Leather Keyring
Sometimes the best gifts are the smallest ones. This leather keyring uses English bridle leather with hand-stitched edges and solid brass fittings, so it feels like something that will improve with age alongside the car it lives with.
Revival Enamel Mug
At the Revival, tea and coffee are served in enamel mugs because that’s what you’d have seen in period pit lanes. Goodwood’s enamel mugs thick-gauge and built to take a knock, whether they are on the camp stove, in a workshop or rattling around in the boot of a classic car.
Heritage Racing Apparel
Festival of Speed Work Jacket
The Goodwood Festival of Speed started in 1993 as a garden party for 3,000 people. Now it’s the world’s greatest celebration of motorsport and car culture, attracting 200,000 visitors annually. This paddock jacket takes design cues from the mechanics’ coats worn in racing pits during the 1960s – heavy cotton drill, functional pockets, and simple brass fastenings.
Tweed Baker Boy
Flat caps, work jackets and well-cut knitwear have always been part of the paddock, and Goodwood’s apparel leans into that history without slipping into costume. These are wardrobe pieces that quietly reference motorsport rather than shouting it. This particular cap uses proper British tweed from a Scottish mill that’s been weaving cloth since 1830 – it’s simply well-made headwear that happens to suit classic car culture perfectly.
Road Racing Heritage T-Shirt
Before circuits had safety barriers and run-off areas, motorsport happened on public roads. The Goodwood Road Racing collection celebrates that dangerous era with designs referencing specific circuits, races, and cars from the 1950s and 60s. These aren’t generic retro designs – each shirt references actual racing history. The quality is exceptional: heavy-weight cotton with proper screen-printed graphics.
Motor Circuit Gilet
British motorsport has always included women – from racing drivers like Kay Petre and Pat Moss to the stylish spectators who made events like Goodwood Revival as much about fashion as speed. This quilted gilet captures the classic British country aesthetic that works equally well in paddocks, at classic car shows, or during autumn touring when layering becomes essential.
Motorsport Books & Art
Goodwood Art, Architecture, Sport & Family Book
The Goodwood Estate is as renowned for its house and collections as it is for its circuit, and this elegant hardback explores that broader picture. Expect Baroque architecture, art, equestrian heritage and the story of the family who have turned Goodwood into a living, evolving estate rather than a static museum piece.
75 Years of Motorsport at Goodwood Book
Celebrate 75 Years of Motorsport at Goodwood. From the first event at our Motor Circuit in 1948 through to the first Festival of Speed in 1993, the first Revival in 1998 and through to the present day.
Goodwood Festival of Speed 2026 Poster
Every year since 1993, Goodwood has commissioned original artwork for the Festival of Speed, and the 2026 poster continues that tradition. It depicts James Hunt’s McLaren M23 chasing Niki Lauda’s Ferrari 312 T2, echoing the drama of the 1976 season and making it a perfect piece for anyone who loves that era of Formula 1.
GRRC Emerald Green Car Blanket
British classic car touring has always involved spontaneous countryside stops, and a proper car blanket was standard equipment in MGs, Triumphs, and Austin-Healeys throughout the 1950s and 60s. This magnificent GRRC blanket revives that tradition with heavyweight British wool in Goodwood’s signature emerald green – the luxurious colour that’s defined British racing heritage since international motorsport began.
