THE region's finest examples of a distinctive and cherished car have been on display.

Members of the North-East Triumph Stag Owners Club took their beautifully kept vehicles to the Beamish Museum, near Stanley, County Durham, at the weekend.

More than 70 cars were on show, to mark the club's 25th anniversary.

Only 25,000 Stags were ever produced, in a run lasting from 1970 to 1977.

Visitors could see models such as the Herald, Spitfire and TR.

Club members collected cash for two charities - the Great North Air Ambulance and Macmillan Cancer Relief.
