MORE than 100 vintage cars will be passing through a section of Derbyshire this week as part of an endurance rally. The cars will be taking part in the Flying Scotsman Rally, a three-day event starting from Birmingham on Friday and finishing 600-miles later in Gleneagles, Perthshire, on Sunda. The field includes Bentleys, Lagondas, MGs, Jaguars, Ford Model As, Rileys and Rolls-Royces, driven by competitors from all over the world who will be dressed in period clothing. The cars are expected to come through the county on Friday and rally organisers have outlined a number of "viewing points" for spectators. They are due to pass the Charles Cotton Hotel at Hartington between 12.30pm and 2.30pm Other viewing points include the George Hotel at Tideswell (1.15pm to 3.15pm), Strines Inn at Derwent Moors (2pm to 4pm) and the Dog and Partridge Inn on the A628 (2.45pm to 4.45pm). The rally is composed of timed sections, test and checkpoints. Rally director Philip Young, from the Endurance Rally Association, said: "We have entrants coming from all over the UK and Europe, with even Americans, Canadians and Australians taking part, making it a truly international celebration of pre-war motoring. "But don't let the vintage dress they will be wearing fool you. There are plenty of teams who are definitely in it to win it."
