Celebrating the Shropshire Spitfire at the NEC Classic Motor Show

Not that this incredible team needs any more publicity — their story has rightly taken social media by storm in recent days — but it was truly something special to see The Shropshire Spitfire in person at this year’s NEC Classic Motor Show.

What this remarkable group of people has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. From the craftsmanship and attention to detail to the shared passion that brought the project to life, the result is an inspiring tribute to the power of community and collaboration.

We want to offer our heartfelt congratulations to everyone involved. The finished car stands as a testament to your skill, dedication, and generosity, all in support of a cause very close to our hearts — The Shropshire Hospice.

At The Forge, we’ve been proud to support The Shropshire Hospice in recent years, but this project carries an even deeper significance for us now. As a family, we’ve recently had to turn to the hospice ourselves for help and support — and we’ve seen firsthand the compassion, care, and comfort they provide to those who need it most.

That’s why seeing the Shropshire Spitfire raise both awareness and funds for such a vital cause means so much to us personally.

To the entire Shropshire Spitfire team: congratulations on an incredible achievement that has captured imaginations far beyond the classic car community — and hearts like ours that know just how important this cause truly is.
