BBC RADIO Merseyside presenter Linda McDermott does a 'double take' for television detective Anna May (Imogen Stubbs), driving a Sunbeam Alpine around Heswall.

Imogen drove the white sixties sports car, in the detective series, a couple of years ago. Now Linda has been seen driving around, near her Heswall home, in a similar white Sunbeam Alpine from the sixties.

Linda has been getting the feel of the sixties, ready for a classic car rally to mark the 30th anniversary of Radio Merseyside on Wednesday October 29.

Globe editor Robin Bird has a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine, registered when Radio Merseyside first started broadcasting. So, Linda borrowed the Sunbeam for an outdoor broadcast with a difference.

The programme is scheduled to go out on October 27, when Linda gives more details of the Radio Merseyside classic car rally at Pier Head, Wednesday lunchtime, October 29.

Cars from Wirral Classic Car Club and Chester Vintage Enthusiasts will be attending. Club officials Blair Percival, of West Kirby, and Martin Hughes, of Oxton, will also be giving a chat on Radio Merseyside, this morning, about their cars and the rally. So, keep listening.
