Prepare for the petrolheads – Washington museum to host summer holiday display of classic and vintage cars
Dozens of classic cars are heading to Wearside for a major show of engineering.
Everything from Minis to Roll Royces will be on display on Sunday (August 7) at Washington’s North East Land, Sea and Air Museum (NELSAM).
This year’s event has proved so popular among exhibitors, organisers have even had to turn some away due to lack of space.
“We’re really looking forward to it,” said NELSAM chairman David Charles, “a lot of car owners are itching to get out.
