“If anyone has a vintage car or motorbike, we would love to see you bring it down between 9am and 9.30am, before the road is closed. There is no need to book a space in advance, just turn up, and we will accommodate you.
“The Classic Car and Motorcycle Transport Fundraiser is a fundraiser for the Macmillan cancer charity.
We raised nearly £3,000 for Macmillan last year thanks to the generosity of everyone who came, and we would love to raise even more for them this year.”
