A CLASSIC car charity show is replacing a Gwent event for the first time this year, writes Alistair Corless.
The Big Welsh Classic Car Show, which helps raise funds for blood cancer charity Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, is being held at Margam County Park, Port Talbot, on September 20 this year.
The Margam Park event replaces the annual Tredegar House Vintage Car Rally which ended last year.
The previous event, which was organised by the Gwent branch of the charity, ran for 34 years. It helped to raise more than £860,000 for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research.
Classic cars, military vehicles and buses will all be on display at the event.
Rachael Davies, regional manager for Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, said: “It’s really exciting to be organising this brand new event.
“We’re not trying to replace like-for-like the Tredegar House rally but we did want to create something for the classic car fans that have supported the charity over the years.
“There will be fantastic classic vehicles on show and so much on offer for everyone.”
