More than 100 vehicles will be showcased against the backdrop of Durham city centre as a popular motoring event returns to celebrate automotive history.
The Durham Classic Car Show will take place on Bank Holiday Monday, August 31, from 11am to 4pm.
It will transform the city into an open-air exhibition of vintage, luxury, and retro vehicles from Britain and overseas.

Cars will be displayed throughout Durham Market Place, Palace Green, Framwellgate Bridge, and Elvet Bridge, creating a scenic route through the heart of the city.
James Wilson, market manager at Durham Markets, said: "The Durham Classic Car Show is always a wonderful day for the city.
"Seeing so many beautifully maintained vehicles displayed against Durham’s historic architecture creates a spectacle that is quite unlike any other car show.

"The event brings together generations of motoring history, and every vehicle has its own story.
"Visitors can admire the cars, speak to their owners, and enjoy exploring different parts of our city centre along the way."
Cars will be set against Durham’s historic landmarks, including Durham Cathedral, Durham Castle, St Nicholas’ Church, and Durham Market Hall.

The event offers something for everyone, from seasoned motoring enthusiasts to families and casual visitors.
Mr Wilson said: "You certainly don’t need to be a motoring expert to enjoy the show.
"For many people, seeing a particular make or model brings back treasured memories, while younger visitors have the chance to discover cars they may never have encountered before.
"It is a free and welcoming day out for the whole family."
