Drive It Day in Cumbria raised over £1,000 for local charities on Sunday.
Drive It Day is a national event organised by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs with venues through the UK to celebrate driving historic vehicles. The Cumbrian event was organised by Wigton Motor Club at Dalemain and very good weather after a poor forecast and some 200 cars arrived for the informal event.
Wigton Motor Club’s charities this year are the Great North Air Ambulance and Cockermouth Mountain Rescue.
Wigton Motor Club is the largest motor club in the north with most of its members based in the north part of Cumbria, north of a line from Shap to Whitehaven. Its base is at the Motor House at Moota, which club members built in the last four years.
