Approximately 150 vehicles from a bygone era (and all more than 25 years old) will take to the road on Sunday, some as old as the 1930’s.

Taking part will be all manner of vehicles from yesteryear, including motorbikes, cars of all ages, vans and a large contingent of lorries, all rigged as we remember them from years ago.
This event has become the biggest of its type in the area, and is sure to attract a lot of attention, not least by people waving as the vehicles go by.
