RESIDENTS and Tourists alike are invited to enjoy the 6th Classic Car and Motorcycle Transport Fundraiser in Southport Town Centre this summer. Admission is free. Southport Auto Centre will once again host the busy event at its premises at:- 31 Wright Street, Southport, PR90TL, (Next to Southport Collage) as well as across surrounding car parks, between:- 10am and 4pm on:- Saturday, 22 June 2024. The road will be closed on the day. All money raised will go to the Macmillan cancer charity. Local radio station Mighty FM will be on site again this year and there will be a host of entertainment on offer. People with classic cars or motorbikes are invited to bring them along. There is no booking needed, just turn up.
Chris Regan has run Southport Auto Centre for the past 23 years as a professional, friendly, family run business and is the only independent Volvo specialist in the North West.
Southport Auto Centre owner Chris Regan said:- "We are planning an even bigger and better event this year! It keeps growing and getting more and more popular every time. This will be our 6th 1. We host the event inside and outside Southport Auto Centre, and also utilise six or seven neighbouring car parks near us, while Wright Street will also be closed during the day. 1 of our highlights will be a vintage fire engine from the British Commercial Vehicle Museum in Leyland which will be giving people rides along Lord Street in return for donations. We will have local historian Keith Hick giving talks about Sir Henry Segrave, who broke the land speed record on Southport Beach. There will be all kinds of things going on. People can have the opportunity to win some great raffle prizes and exclusive items to buy. Refreshments will be available all day. If anyone has a vintage car or motorbike, we would love to see you bring it down between:- 9 am and 9.30 am, before the road is closed. There is no need to book a space in advance, just turn up, and we will accommodate you. The Classic Car and Motorcycle Transport Fundraiser is a fundraiser for the Macmillan Cancer Charity. We raised nearly £3,000 for Macmillan last year thanks to the generosity of everyone who came, and we would love to raise even more for them this year."
