(PRWEB) June 12, 2005 -- More than 400 classic vehicles including vintage tractors, antique bicycles, colourful commercials and favourites like Mark II Ford Cortinas or treasured Austin Sevens will be gathering next month at County Durhams Raby Castle.

The annual Raby Castle Vintage Vehicle Day takes place at the magnificent, mediaeval home of Lord Barnard on Sunday 26th June 2005 from 10am -- 4pm. The Triumph Stag Club and the MG Northumbria Car Club are just two of the societies who will join hundreds of individual car enthusiasts.

Mark Woodward of Woodward Automotives, the Shows organiser, said, Raby Castle is one of the best locations in the country to celebrate vintage vehicles. As well as having its own collection of 18th and 19th century pre-motor chariots, Raby Castle is a beautiful setting with its romantic castle turrets and shimmering lake -- our classic cars do look very at home in their historic surroundings."

Around 3,000 visitors are expected at the Raby Castle Vintage Vehicle Day which is one of 18 events being organised by Woodward Automotives during 2005.
