Ultima - the fastest production road car
A garage celebrated more than 10 years in the trade with a motor show.
MOT Services, Broton Drive, Halstead, played host to the fastest production road car, the Ultima and a German World War Two motorbike and side car with a machine gun attached.
Other motors included a red Ferrari, a Mitsubishi Evo 5, which goes from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds, a 1952 Oldsmobile and a camouflaged 2CV.
About 200 car enthusiasts and customers were also treated to free drinks, a hog roast, and enjoyed listening to the rockabilly band, Mambo Kings on August 2.
The family business has gone from strength to strength over the years, recently doubling the size of its premises and investing in top of the range equipment.
Steve Phillips, owner, said: "We're really pleased with how it's all gelled together. I have got the best staff that I could have and some very skilled mechanics.
"The open day and show is also a thank you to our customers, who have got us here.
"It was a lovely day."
