THE 30th Beamish Reliability Run kicks off on Sunday with another chance to view rare and interesting motorbikes and cars.
This year's route - changed to take account of foot-and-mouth regulations - now takes place over a half day and only uses main roads crossing through non-infected areas.
Starting from Beamish museum at 9am, over 80 vehicles dating from 1905 to 1950 will head off to the Durham Light Infantry museum along the A167 to the first checkpoint.
The runners call at Brancepeth Station, Crook market place, Bishop Auckland market place Bowes museum, Barnard Castle, Tow Law before finishing at Beamish museum with the first of the riders arriving from around 1.10pm onwards.
Around 400 vintage and veteran vehicles will park up inside the grounds of the museum. Among this year's local stars will be a 1905 Brown Brothers car owned by Mr Stephen Cleminson, of West Auckland - the oldest car in the run - a 1927 James motorbike owned by Mr W Bratley of York, a 1948 Scott Flying Squirrel owned by Mr D Hutchinson, of Darlington and a 1948 HRG sports owned by Mr A Halfpenny of Guisborough.
Entries have been left open until tomorrow to encourage vintage owners to take part in the event.
