CLASSIC car enthusiasts gathered at Webbs of Wychbold for the start of the Welsh Rally at the weekend.

A variety of MG models took part in Saturday's event, organised by the MG Car Club Midland Centre, including Midgets, MGBs and the more modern MG TF Spark.

The older cars set off from the centre, near Bromsgrove at about 9.15am, with the last car leaving about one hour later.

It was hoped that the traditional event, which dates back to just after the Second World War would boost enthusiasts, who have been saddened by MG Rover's demise.
