Despite it now being in its 38th year, the rally is far from running out of fuel, never mind breaking down.

For 501 cars will be on show, ranging from a 1905 Albion with a Biggar birthright to the 1980s' Ford Escorts RS2000 and Mk II entered by the Jackson family of Carluke.

Sunday's event will feature classic cars, ancient motorbikes, military vehicles and trade stalls.

There are 910 official entries with Entrant No.1 and Entrant No 910 being locals, namely S Dunlop's 1963 Triumph Spitfire 4 from the Blackwood Classic Car Club and M.Yuill of Lanark's Ex-Army Clothing Stand.

And the 908 entrants in between are all worth going along to see too.

Biggar Rally takes place on Sunday, August 15, from 10am to 4pm. Admission is 6 per adult, 4 kids/concessions.
