Nicky Porter himself will be with the car for some of the day, answering visitors' questions.

Organiser Malcolm Vance said: "We're eager to build on the success of last year's inaugural Classic Car Gala. This year, we've sought cars with a racing or rallying heritage, and are looking forward to Nicky Porter joining us with his 1970s rally car.
