Published Date:

EX-Formula One driver and Grand Prix commentator Mark Blundell will be making a guest appearance at the Two Counties Motor in Newmarket on Sunday.
He will be at the New Marque Specialist Cars stand during the morning of the show, which is being organised by the Lions clubs of Newmarket, Cambridge and Ely and is now in its ninth year at the Rowley Mile racecourse.
This year's event brings together some of the newest cars on the market as well as classic vehicles, with more dealers and visitors than ever expected to attend.
In addition to 'drag' Beetles, Hummers and limousines, the real car enthusiast will relish the chance to get up close to some of the oldest and rarest cars in the region, thanks to local car clubs and individual classic car owners.
Motor racing enthusiasts will not be disappointed either, with both Team AFM Racing's British Touring Racing car and B&R's World Champion Hot Rod at the show.
There will be a variety of amusements to keep children happy, from a bouncy castle to mini-crazy electric cars, and the good news for parents is that the majority of these are free.
New at the show this year is the East Anglian Large-Scale Off-Road Club, which will be holding remote-controlled car races throughout the day.
All proceeds from the event will go to charity, including West Suffolk Crossroads – Caring for Carers, Ely and Soham Dial-a-Ride and the Cambridge Cancer Help Centre.
The show runs from 10am to 5pm. Admission is £5 for adults, £2 for children aged 12–16 and free for the under 12s.
For further information, contact Cheryll on 01223 812405 or 07766 823873.
