The Severn Valley Railway is set to host a classic car rally this month showcasing stylish and vintage sports cars. 

The heritage railway said around 60 examples of well-known sports cars will travel to Highley Station and The Engine House visitor centre for the annual MGA rally. 

The event is set to take place on Sunday, July 21 with a huge collection of stunning cars on display. 

SVR volunteer Peter Darkin, who has been working with the MGA organisers to set up the event, said: "We'll have everything from open two-seaters to coupes. 

"Some will be modified for racing and others are technically advanced. Everything, as you'd expect, will be in immaculate condition and waiting for your inspection. 

"If you've got questions or just want to chat about what's on display, owners will be on hand and unsurprisingly, they like nothing more than to talk about their cars."

The MG Car Company produced its first non-traditional sports car, the MGA, in 1956 and production continued until 1962. 

It has led the style that other sports car manufacturers soon adopted for their own cars. 

The SVR has also reminded visitors that parking at Highley Station is extremely limited and they are advising visitors to travel by heritage rail for the event.
