Liverpool car show axed

A new classic car show set to take place later this month has been axed.

The Liverpool Motor Show was set to attract a wide variety of classics and modern sports cars to Croxteth Hall Park on 25 May, but organisers Aintree Circuit Club said the event had been cancelled due to operational difficulties.

The afternoon event was due to feature a mix of the latest supercars, an extensive display of classic cars and a showing of historic fire engines among its attractions, and would have raised funds for the Woodlands Hospice Charitable Trust.
