The examples of automotive history on show spanned the decades from the birth of motoring in the early 1900s all the way to sleek sports models of the 1980s with a hundred times more horsepower.

Helen Carrick, speaking for the organisers, told the Gazette: "It was marvellous to see so many entrants and so many members of the public coming here to the Rally again from all over the country."
