MORE than 500 of the world's most exciting and iconic cars will be on their way to Cumbria this May.

Motoring enthusiasts from across the country are set to pack the Westmorland Showground on Sunday May 20, joined by high-profile speakers and prestige dealerships for a full day of entertainment.

The 7th Cumbria International Motor Show, organised by the Elite Sports and Performance Car Club, will once again feature automotive giants from across the eras.

Tickets for the show are available now from The Mail offices in Abbey Road, Barrow, priced £6 - with each purchase also receiving an entry into a prize draw for a VIP Experience, which includes lunch and a drink, and a guided tour of the event.

Kentdale Kendal Jaguar and Land Rover is the main sponsor for 2018, so expect the best of both brands to be showcased at the event.

Other confirmations so far include Aston Martin coming over from Newcastle, Lexus Carlisle, and the Lancashire-based Hippo Prestige brand, as well as four supercar clubs.

One of the guest speakers will be Tom Howard, giving his unique insight into Aston Martin and Jaguar heritage.

The event - not just for hardened enthusiasts and petrolheads - features a family entertainment zone, live music zone, food and refreshments, and trade stands.

Motor show founder David Robinson says: "This will be the third year at Westmorland Showground, and it has been superb so far.

"We always look to put on a good show, and I'm especially looking forward to seeing the Aston Martin, Porsche and Jaguar stands again this year, as well as some new additions, such as the Concours d'Excellence and a Show and Shine, which should be impressive.

"I enjoy working on it for 11 months of the year to make it a memorable day out, and the great feedback we get is all that matters to me."

Tickets priced £6 for adults, and £3 for under-16s, are available from The Mail office in Abbey Road, and will give you access to the entire motorshow site, situated just off the M6 at Junction 36.

For every ticket purchased, you will be entered into a prize draw for a VIP Experience.
