Vauxhall to celebrate Drive it Day

Motorists with antique autos have been encouraged to spend Drive it Day at Vauxhall's Heritage Centre.

The event - which takes place on April 26th - is aimed at getting owners of vintage cars, bikes and trucks to take to the open road to celebrate the freedom of motoring.

Vauxhall said it was keen to make its venue the destination of choice for many of these drivers.

Motorists who do head to the Luton site will get the opportunity to watch car artist Ian Cook at work.

The painter has agreed to spend the day at the Heritage Centre creating an image of the facility's turquoise PA Velox.

Visitors will also be able to get up close and personal to a range of classic cars on display there.

The centre opens from 10:00 to 16:30 BST and entry is free.

Meanwhile, it was recently reported fans of the kind of motors that require classic car insurance turned up in their thousands at this year's Race Retro.
