Thousands visit Lanarkshire Classic Car Club event and help raise funds for CHAS
'We were blown away by the turnout from car enthusiasts and the incredible variety of vehicles'
A classic car show organised by a Lanarkshire club has raised £1350 in for Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).
The hugely successful Chrome 'n' Classics day was organised by Lanarkshire Classic Car Club in partnership with XSite Braehead, who hosted the event on Saturday, June 28.
Making its debut at XSite, thousands of visitors flocked to the event to see the showcase of over 200 classic cars bringing together American and vintage icons, custom builds, and modern marvels for attendees to admire.
The attendance exceeded expectations and was supported by the club's 220-strong membership, marking one of the highest turnouts in the club's history.
Bruce Harley, XSite centre manager, said: 'We were blown away by the turnout from car enthusiasts and the incredible variety of vehicles on display. Chrome 'n' Classics was a brilliant way to bring the community together while supporting a fantastic charity.'
The car club has been supporting CHAS since 2018, the hospice charity cares for and supports children with life-limiting illnesses and their families. Charity donations buckets are out at all of the club's events.
Kenny Moffat, club president at Lanarkshire Classic Car Club, said: 'We couldn't be happier with the turnout and the buzz on the day. This was our first time bringing Chrome 'n' Classics to XSite Braehead and it exceeded all expectations.
'It was fantastic to see such a wide range of cars and so many people coming along to share stories, chat with owners, and support Children Hospices Across Scotland.'
