Marketing manager, Dawn Holmes from Carole Nash Cherished cars division commented on the findings: “Annual events such as the Lancashire Classic Car and Motorcycle Show could go some way to explaining why the city is so enthusiastic about vintage vehicles.
“On the whole, it’s encouraging to see so many people passionate about classic cars across the country.”
