Sir Stirling Moss to open classic car event

Racing legend Sir Stirling Moss will open a classic car event taking place in the Cotswolds this weekend.

The Cotswold Journal reports that the 81-year-old will open the Cheltenham Cleeve Vale Rotary Club's classic car show in a Jaguar E-Type as well as taking another motor for a demonstration run.

Taking place on Sunday (May 15th), the showcase is open from 08:30 BST, with a briefing for drivers held 30 minutes later.

Sir Stirling will also sign autographs between 12:20 BST and 12:40 BST.

Rotary Club committee member Eric Ford said that the star's appearance is a welcome boost and will make the event as successful as those of previous years.

"We have managed to raise £20,000 plus in each of the last two years for various Cheltenham Vale Rotary charities, including Gloucestershire Air Ambulance and blood bike couriers Severn Freewheelers," he told the newspaper.

Sir Stirling will also be making an appearance at a special exhibition dedicated to the cars he drove at Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds on May 29th.
