LOTS of MGs - like these Midgets owned by Gordon Amery of Wirral - when the World's biggest classic car rally starts at Chester on Sunday, May 31.
The Guardian Insurance RAC sees classics of every year and type leaving Chester's Eastgate Street, 1300 of them leaving various starting points including 118 Jaguars, 187 MGs, 111 Austin Healeys.
They head for Silverstone to lap the race track and take a picturesque route through Cheshire villages of Huxley and Bunbury, stopping at the Bass Museum of vintage vehicles en route.
Oldest car in the rally is a 1904 De Dion Boulton Tonneau, among the youngest a 1978 Ferrari.
The Eastgate Street is at 8 a.m. Thousands of classic car enthusiasts will also be heading for for Tatton Park in Cheshire, over the weekend of May 30 and 31, for the annual classic car spectacular. Besides club stands and 2,000 classic vehicles there is a big autojumble.
