SEVERAL hundred people gathered at Hacheston, near Woodbridge, at the weekend for a vehicle and bygone rally.

The event, the second of its kind, raised £2,000 last year for two local charities, and organisers believe they exceeded that total this year.

"We are really pleased," said organiser Alan Mutimer. "This year was bigger and better than last year."

Among the attractions were 55 classic cars, including a Model T Ford, some commercial and military vehicles, tractors, motorbikes, and pushbikes.

There were also trade stands, charity stalls and food stalls selling everything from fish and chips to hot dogs and doughnuts.

Entertainment included live music and a visit from Radio Suffolk's "Fred".
