A CAR show returned for its second year raising charity funds in the process.

Tyre retailers Merityre Specialists Ltd held a charity car show at its branch on Walworth Business Park on July 22, raising over £1,000.

After the reception of their first-ever car show last year, the event returned to Merityre’s main warehouse yard, with around 60 drivers turning up to display their cars.

The selection of vehicles ranged from classics to the latest hot hatches and even a rally car.

The event was in aid of Naomi House & Jacksplace, which provides hospice care to more than 440 life-limited and life-threatened children, young people and their families.

Sophie Lang, marketing coordinator at Merityre and organiser of the event, said: “We had so much positive feedback after last year’s show that we simply couldn’t say no to running it for a second year – and once again we have been overwhelmed by the generosity and support of the local residents and car community.”

Merityre raised £1,176.40, which tops last year’s total.

“To top last year’s amazing total raised is a huge achievement and we can’t thank everyone enough, this will be another great help to Naomi House & Jacksplace.”

The overall winner of the show this year was Robert Coe, with his 1935 Bentley which stole the hearts of attendees and the judges alike, with its immaculate interior and exterior rarely seen in a car of over 80 years old.
