CLASSIC car enthusiasts from across the UK headed to South Cumbria to show off their pride and joy.

More than 200 cars, motorbikes and vans gathered at the Lakeland Motor Museum at Backbarrow for the Drive and Ride Day last weekend.

One enthusiast drove 327 miles from Bournemouth to attend the event.

The museum’s operations manager Chris Lowe said: “Again, we’ve shown that days like this are absolutely perfect for both enthusiasts and casual admirers of classic and interesting looking vehicles alike.

“This latest trophy is a combination of three interesting finds from our workshop, a 1955 Chevrolet Bel-Air hood ornament, bolted to a Wrights unused British registration plate we’ve used as the base, complimented by a set of Cee-Tee pliers, all the way from New York."
