Thousands of car enthusiasts are expected to pour into the county this weekend for the Midlands Festival of Transport.

Hundreds of cars, some dating back to the 1920s, will be joined by vintage, classic and sports motors at the festival in Weston Park, on the Shropshire border, on Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday.

More than 60 car clubs, including Jaguar, Club Lotus, Porsche and MG, will be represented.

Displays in the main arena will include fire engines, military vehicles and a selection of giant World War II aero engines.

Keeping the crowds entertained will be the Piston Rings motorcycle display team who will be demonstrating their precision skills.

Children will also be kept smiling with a funfair, inflatables and mini quad bikes.

Gates open at 10.30am and entry is £8 for adults and £3 for children. On Monday adults get in for £7.
