thousands visited the annual Vintage and Classic Car Show at the Three Counties Showground at the weekend.

Organisers say that attendance was up on last year, with an estimated 10,000 coming to the event.

More than 1,500 vehicles, ranging from Morris Minors to Bentleys, were on display and visitors were able to stroll around nearly 400 trade stands. Around 70 car clubs came from all over the country.

An auction of classic cars, held in the Severn Hall on the first day, resulted in the sale of 22 vehicles.

Other attractions included the Morgan Experience in the Wye Hall, which provided demonstrations of the skills required to build the vehicles and gave a history of the company's rise to success.

This year's show featured brand-new arrivals in the form of battling robots. Nearly three dozen lovingly constructed robots, some of which had been featured on BBC2's popular television series Robot Wars, fought it out in a specially built arena.

Organiser Ian Green said: "I am extremely pleased with the attendance at this year's show. The Robot Wars feature was new and fun and attracted lots of attention. We are optimistic that next year's show will be as successful if not more so."
