A three-wheeled police car and a rare Bentley which featured in a BBC drama series are among the cars which will go on display at a classic car show this bank holiday.

Hundreds of cars from across the years will be put on display on Eastbourne seafront as part of this year’s Magnificent Motors show.

The cars, including rare Aston Martin and Alfa Romeo sports cars, will be among more than 600 cars on display across two days.

A spokeswoman for Eastbourne Borough Council, who help organise the event, said: “For many years now Magnificent Motors has been the ultimate must-see free motoring extravaganza in the south east and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for visitors to view a unique selection of vintage and classic cars, motorbikes and more and have the chance to look under the bonnets and chat to the owners too.”

Also on display at the event will be a 1959 Edsel Corsair Convertible which is one of only two of its kind in the country.

Magnificent Motors will run from 10am to 5pm on Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5 on the Western Lawns.
