JEEP IN 70TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS


Jeep celebrates its 70th Anniversary next weekend (16-18 September) through a sponsorship agreement with the Goodwood Revival motorsport event.


The famous 4WD manufacturer will play a big part at the Sussex-based Revival as guests relive the glorious 1940s, 50s and 60s in one of the world’s biggest historic motor racing parties.


As a sponsor of the Goodwood Revival, Jeep will be displaying its latest range of 70th Anniversary models – Grand Cherokee, Compass and Wrangler – as well as a large selection of superb historic cars dating back to the Second World War.


Jeep will have three key areas around the Goodwood Revival site:



  • Jeep at the Earls Court Motor Show, featuring Jeep vehicles of the 50s and 60s and the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee and Compass,

  • Jeep at March Motor Works, which depicts a typical 1950s US garage, and

  • Jeep 4×4 Experience at the Goodwood Quarry, where the company’s guests can experience the latest Jeep products in the real world environment of a working quarry.


At all these points, event-goers will have many chances to see the classic line-up of rugged passenger and military cars through the ages.


“This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase not only the rich heritage of the remarkable Jeep marque, but also the latest Jeep vehicles available now in the UK,” says Nigel Land, brand director, Jeep Chrysler in the UK. “The Goodwood Revival is a fantastic event on the motoring calendar and we are delighted to be involved.”


The Goodwood Revival takes place at the Goodwood Estate, Near Chichester, West Sussex, from Friday 16 September until Sunday 18 September.
