CLASSIC cars visited one of Malvern's most historic motoring sites this weekend.
The Cape to Cape rally, which drives from Newquay in Cornwall before taking in 2,700 miles and arriving back at Cape Cornwall, stopped at the Morgan Motor Company while on the home leg of the trip on May 7.
Led by founder Dennis Greenslade, cars stopped in the car park at Morgan, the car factory which has been present in the town for more than 100 years.
The rally, which raised money for Macmillan Cancer Support, included more than 40 classic cars and includes drivers from across Europe and even as far away as America.
Mr Greenslade organised the first Cape to Cape in 2004.
His love of cars and motorsport and experience of rallying led him to create the rally, which is now known as one of the toughest classic car tours in Europe.
He said: "I feel very privileged to have turned my love of motor cars, fascination with maps, and experience of international rallying into one of the toughest classic car tours in Europe.
"Both me and my late wife, Tricia, who died at 60 from oesophageal cancer felt it important to raise money for charity with the challenge.
"However, like so many entrants, over the years, the fundraising has become even more personal."
This year's rally raised more than £200,000 for Macmillan, taking its overall total raised past £1million.
Ceris Bradley, fundraising manager for Macmillan, said: "The first event, Cape Cornwall to Cape Wrath, raised an amazing £32,000 and to date over £900,000 has been achieved.
"Sadly, the number of people being diagnosed with cancer is increasing every year and that means Macmillan’s support for people living with cancer is in more demand than ever.
"We cannot thank the entrants and Cape to Cape supporters enough."
The route of Cape to Cape took the drivers from Cornwall up to Cape Wrath in Scotland and down to Cape Clear in Ireland.
From there, they drove back via North Wales and through Worcestershire and Herefordshire before arriving back home 15 days later.
