A Cumbrian museum has seen a 'bumper turnout' of classic cars and enthusiasts at its latest event.

The Lakeland Motor Museum's 'Autumn Drive and Ride In' showcased a collection of classic and vintage vehicles, while also attracting a number of motoring fans.

The exhibition area allowed visitors to view a variety of vehicles spanning the last century, including a mid-1920s Humber and a modern McLaren.

The event was not limited to British vehicles, with a significant number of American muscle cars on display.

One such vehicle, a 1938 Ford 'Flatside' pick-up truck, took home the 'Awesome Autumn' trophy.

Chris Lowe, curator of the Lakeland Motor Museum, said: "It was another great turnout for our latest Classic Drive and Ride In Day, which always have a strong appeal for anyone who wants the chance to see some classic vehicles and enjoy a fun day out.

"Special congratulations go to Stephen Park and his fantastic 1938 Ford 'Flatside' pick-up truck.
