The show, which is celebrating its fifth birthday this year, is one of the biggest free motoring festivals on the south coast.

Entries are now officially open to find an exciting range of classic and vintage vehicles to exhibit at the town's annual motoring festival that returns to the Western Lawns from May 3-4.

Eastbourne Borough Council is organising the event and looking forward to welcoming cars, motorcycles, bicycles, military and commercial vehicles, and buses.

Councillor Steve Wallis, Eastbourne Borough Council spokesperson for tourism, said, "This is an excellent opportunity for any motor enthusiast to display their vehicle to thousands of visitors while enjoying Eastbourne's stunning seaside location.

"Exhibitors will be able to share their passion for all things automotive by speaking to like-minded people and will get the chance to take part in the two cavalcades along the town's seafront.

"We've seen some unusual vehicles over the past few years but I would like to see something extra special for the festival's fifth birthday."

More than 500 classic and vintage cars are expected to exhibit at this year's event and will park up on the town's Western Lawns, Wish Tower Slopes and King Edwards Parade over the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Exhibitors are being urged to register their entry quickly with applications closing on April 18.
