Discussion
I have lots of photos and videos on my Instagram account from today: https://www.instagram.com/essex.supercars/
I also have all the video being uploaded in 1080P onto my YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT9UHb1bMGlYwaDCR... (its 8 minutes long!)

Seemed like a great turnout of both cars and spectators in Maldon. Every single one looked nice, if a bit soggy. Not many folk had their roof down. 
Loved the F12s and 458 Speciales, but an honourable mention for the chap with the 488 in what appeared to be Berlin taxi beige. Cool colour.

went to Maldon in the end.
we thought all the cars had passed through as the police outriders had disappeared and normal traffic resumed but then 5 mins later another 10-20 cars came through,not being local a lot of the drivers didn't know where to go so we had to direct them down market hill otherwise they were going straight down the high street to the prom,one slipped through and probably had to do a 9 point turn to resume the route
they sounded good in the narrow high street.

I was there in Chelmsford, was indeed a rather large turnout! Good to see an F50, never seen one before. Did they park up after Bond Street? I was told I had to follow the missus into John Lewis after they all drove past... mind you, the Ferrari Ray-Ban's they had out on show got me very tempted!

Drove straight through via New Street, Waterloo Lane & Bond Street and then onto Maldon.

After the stop at the vineyard, the police mistakenly thought all cars were out, which left a group of about 15 cars that got stuck behind in the normal traffic. Unfortunately by Colchester the time gap had widened to more like 10 minutes so many people missed the last cars. we thought all the cars had passed through as the police outriders had disappeared and normal traffic resumed but then 5 mins later another 10-20 cars came through,not being local a lot of the drivers didn't know where to go so we had to direct them down market hill otherwise they were going straight down the high street to the prom,one slipped through and probably had to do a 9 point turn to resume the route

Here's a handful of pics from the event. 250 GT SWB, 250 GT Pinifarina, 250 GTE, 365 2+2, F40, 246 Dino, and a couple of shots from an F50 engine bay which is quite something to behold. Three LAFs - two of them Apertas. Loads of more common stuff didn't make the cut! - about a dozen Speciales for example.
