Around 500 vintage cars from across the region will be gathering at the coast in Whitley Bay next weekend (Sunday 16 September).
The fifth annual Whitley Bay Classic Car Show, organsied by North Tyneside Council, will take place on The Links in front of the revitalised Spanish City and will feature mid-1930’s classics to more recent models.
Cars from around the world will be on show for visitors and many local classic car clubs will be present, including NECPWA, MG Northumbria, Jaguar Enthusiasts and Tyneside American.
Ahead of the event, Cllr Sarah Day, cabinet member for Culture, Sport and Leisure, said: “It’s been great to see Whitley Bay so busy this summer after the brilliant regeneration and we know this free event will also attract many people to the area.”
The event starts at 10am, through until 3pm, and owners will all be on hand to chat about the history of their cars to visitors and fellow enthusiasts.
There will also be live jazz music, small fairground rides for children and a range of street food and refreshments available.
The free event is organised by North Tyneside Council and is supported by Eastcoast Taxis and Whitley Bay Chamber of Trade.
Exhibitors can still register their vehicles, here: Whitley Bay Classic Car Show 2018.
