Classic car owners 'rushing to take part in Chelsea AutoLegends'

The organisers of the forthcoming Chelsea AutoLegends motoring event have reported a high level of interest from classic car owners wishing to take part.

Held at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in September 2011, the gathering is set to include a special showground area in which classic car enthusiasts can display rare and unusual motors.

Since announcing this attraction, the show has received almost 200 entries and is close to reaching the maximum allocated capacity for participants.

Classic Jaguars, Lotus, Ferraris and Porsches will be featured at the show, as well as a 1963 Fiat 900T van and a 1955 Swallow Doretti, both of which are extremely rare.

Event chairman Eric Verdon-Roe said: "We have been overwhelmed with some great cars, everything from supercars and sports cars to those family saloons so commonplace in the 1960s, but hardly ever seen today."

Sir Stirling Moss will be the patron of the 2011 Chelsea AutoLegends event, which will also feature birthday celebrations for the classic Jaguar E-type and Mini Cooper.
