Historic vehicles on show

Classic car enthusiasts and miniature vehicle collectors alike gathered at Sandwell's Historic Vehicle Show.

The renowned show, held at Sandwell Valley Country Park in West Bromwich yesterday, attracted about 35,000 visitors who were delighted with the fine sunny day compared to the miserable rain of Saturday

The show included classic car owners showing off their treasured motors, bus enthusiasts with their own brand of vehicle, military cars, a toy fair with miniature cars and buses on sale, a fun fair and a show from the Piston Ring Youth Motorcycle Club, who are appealing for new members.

Organiser of the show Geoff Price, who has been helping to put the show together since November, said: "We are very lucky with the weather, it makes a big difference to the attendance."
