Car rally was simply classic
6:23pm Wednesday 14th May 2008
A classic car rally proved a big hit in Droitwich for the second year running.
Dozens of people flocked to see cars and lorries from a bygone era which were displayed around the town on Saturday.
Organiser Graham Gopsill said: "It was first-class.
"It was pretty well packed out all day."
He also said the event raised more than £500 for County Air Ambulance thanks to a £5 entry fee for car owners.
As part of the rally, the High Street and St Andrews Street were closed for pre-war cars and people dressed in period costumes.
Bromsgrove MGC club brought cars to Victoria Square and 1950s lorries were displayed on the Raven hotel car park.
The event was sponsored by Droitwich Spa Town Council, Wychavon District Council and local photographer Michael Neil.
