Over 100 classic cars to arrive on Burnham-On-Sea seafront

More than 100 vintage vehicles will arrive on Burnham seafront this evening (Saturday June 6th) for the 16th annual Vale of Avalon Vintage Vehicle Road Run.

The organisers hope large crowds will flock to see the rare and vintage cars on display and donate money to charity.

The vehicles will arrive on Burnham seafront, near the Tourist Information Centre, at around 6.15pm.

They will remain in position until 7.15pm, giving the public time a chance to look over the vehicles. The drivers and passengers will then return to Glastonbury.

It is one of Somerset's largest annual gatherings of vintage vehicles and has attracted car enthusiasts and entries from all over the country.

Among those on display will be vintage ice cream vans, police cars and fire engines alongside valuable old cars and motorbikes.

"We are really looking forward to the event and hope that as many people as possible will come along to look at the cars and help us to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support," organiser Daphne Stone told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
