Event organiser Mike Ashcroft said: “We have a fabulous entry of cars and other vehicles spanning three centuries of automotive innovation, following in the wheel tracks of pioneers such as Charles Rolls, Dorothy Levitt, Sir Henry Segrave and Wilf Blundell, who helped put Southport at the top of the Motor Sport and Motoring tree. 

“Southport Classic and Speed will celebrate this superlative heritage in style, for everybody of all ages and interests to enjoy and also the opportunity to experience Southport’s other attractions as a Classic Seaside Town and Resort, especially as the event is a free public event.

“We are hoping for fine weather on the day and a very busy Victoria Park and Grande Parade Route!”

Sensible Covid Safe protocols will be adopted for the event, to ensure that public health risks are minimised and everybody can enjoy the event in safety.
