Organised by the town's Rotary Club, the 2023 event was a washout with just 14 hardy souls brave enough to take their pride and joys out in the torrential rain.

But on Wednesday, July 31, with the region enjoying glorious sunshine, around 65 classic enthusiasts met outside The Livestock Market in Tasley at 6.30pm.

Martin Jones of the Rotary Club said: "We had a bit of luck with the weather as last year it was terrible, but we had somewhere between 60 and 65 cars this year, which was great. And many familiar faces who turn out most years.

"At the end of the evening we gave a presentation to the car that the President would most like to have gone home in he chose and old pre-war Morris 8, that was nicely restored so it was not necessarily about the most expensive cars by any means, although we had plenty of Lotus cars, TVRs and Aston Martins and lot of Jaguars this year."

He said the event raised £1,595, which would go to a series of local good causes.
