The parade of vintage cars, including Pontiac and Morris models, was well received by the crowd.
Residents and even a four-legged friend enjoyed cruising through town in the cars, while others gathered to wave them off on their journey.
The event sparked conversation among residents as Marg Windridge went hunting for the fastest car, while Carmel Murphy was certain it was the red one.
Ted Hughes and resident Graeme Hyden had big smiles as they set off for a drive.
