Displays and Exhibits:
Machinery and Transport

As ever, we have a very wide range of activities and displays for technical or transport enthusiasts.

 

Classic Tractors

At the fair you will see a variety of Classic tractors on display that cover a number of decades of agricultural history. They current include a 1955 Ferguson, which was recently restored after spending 25 years on a local allotment; a 1942 Ford (9 Nan) found in a local scrap yard in Denham, Suffolk, which came to the UK on the Land Lease Scheme from the USA during world war II. Also on display will be a very local 1955 Ferguson originally bought from Boggis Engineering of Halesworth.

Don't miss the classic tractors in the main ring!





Classic Cars & Motor Cycles

The cars at Heveningham are all manufactured between 1929 and the late 1970s and included several rarely seen examples of motoring history.

These include a 1928 Donnet G2; a Chevrolet National 4 door saloon imported from New Zealand; a 1938 Rolls Royce, Sedanca De Ville; a 1929 Austin Heavy 12 that once raced at Silverstone and a 1936 Mercedes 170 Cabrolet which has feature in a number of war films.

We welcome owners of vintage cars and if you are interest in exhibiting you will find the application forms online.

There will be a number of motor cycles on display including those belonging to the members of the East Coast Harley Club.





Steam Engines

Before cars, hovercraft and model aeroplanes were invented, steam power was the driving force behind transport and agriculture.

We have an example of a fully-operational steam traction engine at the Fair.







Static Engines

Exhibiting at the Heveningham Fair are a number of stationary engines ranging from 1920 Lister J to a 1948 Lister DK. All are working engines demonstrating the power of the past. These include the smallest ‘M’ type Petter engine from 1928 driving a water pump.





Classic Fire engines

We hope to bring you a number of classic fire engines.





Kit Cars

Exhibiting this year there will be a number of cars from the Waveney Kit Car Club as well as number being preseneted indepently. These include a 1979 Lomax 223.





Sterling Helicopters

We're delighted to welcome Sterling Helicopters to the fair, who will be operating pleasure flights over the estate from a helipad on the edge of the lake.

The outstanding visibility of a helicopter, without wings to mask the view makes it the ideal way of seeing the beautiful East Anglian countryside, Norfolk Broads and coastline.
