FANS of the Morgan sports car will converge on Cheltenham next weekend to celebrate the owners' club's 50th birthday.

The Morgan Sports Car Club will toast the event with a four-day rally at the town's racecourse.

Organiser David Gibbons said: "They're coming from Australia, New Zealand, America and all over Europe."

On Sunday, July 15, the rally will be open to the public and Mr Gibbons said he expected over 1,000 cars to be on show if the weather is fine.

Owners will also be taking part in scenic tours, hill climbs and visits to the car's Malvern factory.
