"The stand has no relevance to our product - that's why people stop by," says John Donoghue of Forged Metals (FMI). "They ask: 'What exactly is it you guys do?'"

Which comes as no surprise, as the stand proudly sports what is described as a 'highly modified' Citroen 2 CV6 - with wings.

Named the Spirit of Fontana, the car is inspired by Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis - itself designed and manufactured in San Diego, California, where the founders of FMI were born.

For anyone wondering, FMI produces seamless rings and open die forgings for the aerospace and commercial markets.

Customers include Boeing, Rolls-Royce and BMW Rolls-Royce.
