Classic motors to roll into town

9:00am Saturday 10th May 2008

ABOUT 100 vehicles from a bygone era will be rolling into the Droitwich Spa this weekend for the town's second annual classic and vintage car rally.

Organisers are gearing up for the event - which proved a smash hit with classic car owners and members of the public last year.

The town's High Street and St Andrew's Street will be closed during the display from 10am to 4pm today.

The cars can also be viewed in the Raven Hotel car park.

This year's rally has also been opened up to classic motorbikes and one of the organisers town councillor Anne Taft said there would be a few among the 100 or so entries.

Money raised from the event - which has been sponsored by Droitwich Spa Town Council, Wychavon District Council and local photographer Michael Neil - will go to the County Air Ambulance.

Coun Taft said: "It is a chance for the public to see the cars and chat to the owners.

"It was wonderful last year. We had a really successful day.

"We have also asked for some motorbikes this time."
