On 14th May we offered our first Open House and Rally event. We couldn’t be more pleased with how the event went. With visitors from as far as Japan and the USA we were touched at the enthusiasm and interest in the Figaro brand and in our work.
The day began with owners arriving at around 10am, we put on tea and coffee and spent time making new friends and catching up with the people and cars we knew.
The day started with Toby Brooks introducing the company and giving the visitors an overview of what was involved, firstly with the tour, followed by the much anticipated rally.
The visitors had already been split into groups and with each group heading to a specific department the tour began.
We were so touched by the interest and enthusiasm towards the Figaro, it was as much a pleasure for us as it was for our visitors, its so nice for our entire team to talk with the owners of the cars they have worked on.
The three groups moved around the site having an in depth tour of each department and then following up with questions. The tour ended with everyone in the main building and the reveal of the shops latest project, it was such a nice feeling to get a round of applause. Working so hard on a project, it means a lot to get a response like this.
After leaving the shop in an amazing 25 car convoy we drove through the sunny Oxfordshire countryside, over to the incredible Stonor Park. We had pre planned parking and entry to tour the house and grounds. After getting some amazing shots of the cars we all began to explore the house and soak up the amazing history.
After a feed in the pantry and a chat out on the lawns we relaxed and enjoyed the weather.
Having been to many car shows over the years I was so pleased with how our own one went, it was truly an unforgettable day.
Thanks so much to everyone who came.
