ONE of the south coast's premier car events has returned to Poole Quay.

Bournemouth & Poole Tourism's 'Quay for my Car' event consists of nine weeks of themed car nights every Friday.

Last week kicked off with Land Rover Defenders, and this Friday (July 13) will see Mini enthusiasts display their vehicles along the waterside.

Other night to come include, Lotus 7s, 'Italian Stallions', TVRs and air-cooled VWs.

This year's programme is sponsored by English Ford.

Part of the Foray Motor Group, English Ford will also host a new 'Ford Fanatics' night on August 23 for ST, RS and Mustang models.

Foray Group marketing manager Sam Black said: "We are delighted to be playing a part in Poole's summer events programme.

"Quay for my car is such a well-established event and one that is really loved by the car clubs, spectators and enthusiasts who support it.

"Poole Quay offers the best seats in the house to a different marque each week, allowing them to show off their pride and joy."
