An Isle of Wight classic car event raised thousands of pounds for a men's mental health and cancer charity.

The Isle of Wight Distinguished Gentleman's Drive took place on September 29 in sync with hundreds of the same events worldwide.

Over £6,000 was raised at the event which will go to Movember, a men's mental health, suicide prevention and prostate and testicular cancer charity.

The event, organised by the charity, encouraged people to dress up dapper and drive.

The Isle of Wight edition began at Newclose Cricket Ground, where 40 cars departed for a scenic drive of the Island.

Prizes were awarded for Best Dressed and a Concours d'Elegance award from the line-up of classic cars.

Upon returning to Newclose, drivers and passengers were treated to a traditional cream tea. 

Last month, around 600 classic vehicles parked up in Newport and Ryde.

Aston Martins, Mustangs, Fords, and Jaguars lined up at Newport's Quay Arts on Saturday, September 21, and on Ryde seafront on Sunday, September 22.

The free event had vehicles transported from the mainland.
