A CAVALCADE of classic cars revved into place at the Mansion House for a petrol powered fundraising event.

Approximately 150 visitors saw 59 pristine autos including a 1937 Sedan, 2002 Ferrari Spider as well as some from the US.

There were awards handed out in three categories including best in show, staff choice and the public choice.

The winner of the Public Choice was a Dodge Charger, Staff Choice went to an Essex Super Six and Best in Show was an Austin Tourer.

All money raised on the day went towards Age UK and the event proved such a success that plans are underway to host a classic car rally in September. Anyone interested in taking part is asked to call the Mansion House on 01744 752644.
