The Rotary Club of Tewkesbury stage their annual Classic Vehicle Festival at Tewkesbury School Playing Fields on Sunday, August 19.

Over 1,000 classic vehicles will be on display, from the dawn of the motoring era, to pre-war, post-war, American classics, custom cars, hot rods to supercars, motorbikes and those of historic and engineering significance to mass-produced retro run-abouts.

Show highlights include:

A huge engineering marvel (literally) which will be making its debut at the festival. Bloodhound SSC team will be displaying a full-size 12.8m-long (42ft) model show car. Bloodhound is the world's most powerful land vehicle, boasting around 135,000bhp the team hopes to break the World Land Speed Record of 1000mph! Bloodhound is not all about speed. It is a global education project aiming to inspire a generation to take up careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.

Terry Clarke will showcase his recreation of John Cobb's famous record-holding 1933 Napier Railton. The Napier-Railton car broke the Brooklands outer circuit lap record of 143.4mph in 1935 and went on to set the 24-hour record of 150.6mph at Bonneville Salt Flats in 1936. The car is a masterpiece of both engineering and craftsmanship.

The Bond, Hannis & Osbourne "Nuthing II Fancy" Drag Racing car which be on site and firing up at regular intervals throughout the day. Last month the team raced into pole position at the NSRA Nostalgia Nationals at Santa Pod at a staggering speed of a 222mph in just 6.57 seconds, setting a European record!

As featured on the Channel 4 TV show "For the Love of Cars", a stunning 1947 MG TC which was put in to dry storage in 1976 and remained there in a sorry state until it was offered for restoration in 2013. The car was rebuilt and restored back to its original specification by internationally renowned car designer and TV presenter Ant Anstead, Philip Glenister and the team at Evanta Motors.

It's not just cars either ... over 200 classic motorcycles will be displayed, with all the major marques represented including Honda, Yamaha, Harley Davidson, Moto Guzzi, AGS, Triumph and Royal Enfield to local Gloucestershire-based manufacturer Cotton.

Iconic motorcycle builder Allen Millyard will be showcasing the 'Flying Millyard', it may resemble a two-wheeled Chitty Chitty Bang Bang but don't be fooled, the vintage looking home built motorcycle is fitted with two cylinders from a Pratt and Whitney 1340 radial, and a 5.0-litre V-Twin engine designed for an aeroplane!

A rare 1914 Triumph 4 ½ HP Roadster. The 104-year-old motorcycle is just 1 of only 8 running machines left in the world and took part in the first London to Brighton 'Pioneer Run' in 1930.

The Classic Vehcile Festival, now in its 8th year is the Rotary Club's biggest charity annual fundraiser which actively raises thousands of pounds for both national and regional charities. Over £100,000 has been donated since its inception.

Two of the charity beneficiaries this year will be the Sue Ryder Leckhampton Court Hospice and Midlands Air Ambulance Charity.

The Festival features live vintage entertainment courtesy of the Haywood Sisters, Lindy Hop dance demonstrations, plus 110 quality trade stands, autojumble and a wide selection of onsite catering.
