A community
We were joined by many people in what was a fabulous turnout.
We saw many wonderful machines, from the prestigious to the personal, from the humble family car to amazing models we rarely see. All were welcome, pawed over, admired and the subject of wonderful admiring conversation and the sharing of build stories, all of course three times longer than expected and no less over budget!.
F1 heritage
One of the highlights of the day was the moment a 1976 Williams-built, Wolf-Williams F1 car, raced by Jacky Ickx and Arturo Mezario during their 1976 F1 campaign, was wheeled into the sunshine and explosively started up.
A crowning moment for those who love their machinery, a rare chance to glimpse some heritage F1 engineering. Less of a crowning moment for those who value their hearing!
Giving back
This year we were very proud to support Rosie Rocks The World, a fund of the Children’s Cancer and Leukaemia Group (CCLG), raising money for research into Ewing sarcoma in memory of Rosie Burnside-Fitch.

Modern engineering amongst classic cars
We also had on display some of the amazing modern engineering TECNIQ deliver for their high-end clients with the interior engineering of both the Mercedes AMG One and Aston Martin’s Valkyrie AMR Pro, both poised in their bucks, dripping with carbon fibre engineering and technology and modern instrument panels and materials, befitting their £2m+ price tags. All designed, engineered and manufactured here in Witham!
