Classic car and motorbike rally to return this weekend '“ and there's still time to sign up
The Mayor’s Classic Vehicle Run will return for another year on Sunday, April 15.
From 8.30am cars, motorbikes and commercial vehicles will gather at Havant Borough Council’s Plaza car park, before being waved off by the mayor of Havant, Elaine Shimbart, at 10am.

There, visitors will get the chance to enjoy live music from The Soberton Strummers.
Entry to the fixture is free for spectators, while donations are appreciated – as the rally looks to raise cash for the mayor’s chosen charities, Fitzroy Waterlooville and Home Start Havant.
Motorists can still sign up to take part in the drive, as long as their vehicle – which can be anything – pre-dates 1990.
