Bradford Classic Car Show will return for a fourth year next weekend with more than 80 models expected on display at Centenary Square.

The event will include cars from Aston Martin Racing, Jaguar Heritage and Yorkshire-based firm Ginetta.

Former rally driver and TV presenter Penny Mallory will give a run down on the cars and interview visiting drivers including Aston Martin’s Darren Turner, Nigel Moore – at 17 the youngest ever British competitor in the Le Mans – and former Morgan driver Chris Lawrence, who claimed victory at the race in 1962.

Bradford Council leader, Councillor Kris Hopkins, said: “This is a very special weekend for car fans in Yorkshire and the north of England.

“Each year we have tried to build the show and this year promises to be the best yet. Bradford and the surrounding area are famous for manufacturing cars with companies like Jowett and Ginetta.”
