Classic car enthusiast and Weighton Wolds Rotary Club member John Ducker is looking forward to the event.

He said: “We’re very pleased with the calibre of classic cars that we attract to our shows.

“We are looking forward to this year’s event and to welcoming classic cars from East, West and South Yorkshire.

“Over the years, our classic car shows have raised over £15,000 for cancer and Alzheimer’s charities, so we’re hopeful that this event will raise a significant amount of money to help York Against Cancer to fund its vital work.
