The Welch family are no strangers to achievement on the World record stage. Their involvement dates back to 1906 and achievements have included the World Water Speed Record with a boat called ‘Bulldog’, The European FIA championships with their own Healey also the rebuilding of the 1965 Le Mans Austin Healey sprite and its sister car, plus building cars for such luminaries as Stirling Moss and Mark Knopfler.
