JCT600 has provided its backing to the annual Bradford to Morecambe Historic Vehicle Run which raised £2,000 for Cancer Support Yorkshire.

The rally is organised by Gerry Watson and has been supported by JCT600 for the last 16 years.  This year’s event saw more than 100 classic cars of all types and ages embarking on the 130 mile round trip from Bradford to Morecambe where vehicles assembled for a grand display on the promenade before returning to Yorkshire.  

The event is now in its 28th year, and attracts  thousands of visitors to the seaside town.  This year it featured a 1932 two seater Riley 9; a 1932 Vauxhall Cadet Cabriolet; and a 1952 Jowett van plus a 1953 Jowett Javelin.

Event founder and organiser Gerry Watson said: “The rally seems to become more popular every year.  We were fortunate to have a lovely sunny day and once again had a fantastic turnout of enthusiasts keen to display their vintage vehicles as well as lots of people coming along to enjoy the sight of these beautiful classic cars.  Many thanks to JCT600 for their continued support and to everyone involved.”

Linda Enderby, fundraiser with Cancer Support Yorkshire, said:“We rely on donations and proceeds from events such as the Historic Vehicle Run, so we are very grateful to be the chosen charity again this year.  The money we receive goes directly to help local people and their families whose lives are affected by cancer.  All of our services are free, but that’s only possible because people like Jack and Gerry continue to support us.”
