The Sidmouth Chamber of Commerce classic car show promises to turn heads when it returns next month.

The business group has teamed up with the Crash Box Club of Devon to bring a wide range of vintage vehicles and family fun to the Sidmouth Cricket, Tennis and Croquet Club.

This year will see the addition of an alternative energy vehicle show from the Sid Valley Energy Action Group, for a unique meeting of the old and new. The event, on September 21, has been touted as a real treat for petrol-heads in a setting overlooking the sea – and all for good causes. It comes the day after Sidmouth hosts the start of the sixth stage of the Tour of Britain.
