THE annual Vintage, Classic and Sports Car Show returns to Newcastle this weekend, with a display of more than 40 vehicles spanning 75 years-plus of motoring history.

The exhibits, which will include a 1930s Rolls-Royce, a 1960s Jaguar E-Type and a 1990s Lola Formula One, will be on show in the grand ballroom of the Slieve Donard Hotel from Friday January 29 to Sunday January 31.

More than 3,000 people are expected to visit and the 21 previous shows have raised more than £160,000 for charity, with proceeds from this year's event earmarked for Cancer Research UK.

Admission is £5 for adults and £2 for children. Opening times are 2pm-10pm on Friday January 29, 10am-10pm on Saturday January 30 and 10am-4pm on Sunday January 31.
