More than 160 cars and motorbikes took part in The Havant Mayor’s Classic Vehicle Run yesterday, in support of charities Fitzroy Waterlooville and Home-Start Havant.
Drivers rode from Havant Borough Council’s Public Service Plaza at 10am, to Fort Purbrook, near Portsdown Hill Road, at 12pm.

Drivers pay to take part and can be sponsored. There are two different length runs, one at 25-30 miles and one at 45-50 miles.
John Wilton, 70, is the owner of the 1914 Model 30 Cadillac that took the mayor to the fort. He said: ‘I’ve done this event for the last five years, I’m a classic car enthusiast and I like to support the charities, it’s always good fun!’
The amount of money raised for the two charities is yet to be counted.
