“It was great to see people coming to the Great Northern Classics meet from all over the country in so many great cars, “said Kev Hall, Technical Operations Manager at Milltek. “It was a really enjoyable evening. Milltek’s always had strong links at a grass roots level, so we always enjoy events like this when we can spend time talking about cars with fellow performance car enthusiasts. We still get a buzz from being surrounded by cars like this and getting great feedback from customers about their Milltek exhausts”.
The venue for the Great Northern Classics meet is a former Victoria Ironworks foundry in Derby that once produced the Rolls-Royce Eagle engine that was used in around 50 different aircraft and airships during WW1.
