David Morris, Director of the Italian Auto Moto Club, said: “We are really happy that we have received more entries than ever, and look forward to bringing some rare items and their enthusiastic owners from all over the UK.

“Already, we have been inundated with entries and with a well known but publicity-shy TV personality joining us, we look forward to an incredibly busy day.

“We are raising funds for the Air Ambulance and the Bridgnorth Foodbank, and every single entrant will be making financial donations and also bringing in items of food and drink to contribute to this very busy local charity''.

Further entries are now limited and should be made directly with David Morris at djmfastforward@hotmail.co.uk who can also be contacted on 07773 537564.
