AN estimated 10,000 people flocked to admire cars of all makes and models during an annual show.
People travelled from as far as Scotland to show off their prized machines at the Stamford and District Round Table event on Sunday.
The town's Meadows hosted 300 to 400 cars ranging from sporty numbers to pre-war vehicles.
Round table members estimate that the event has raised £2,000 for club funds, which will be used to help charities in Stamford.
Club chairman Quentin Arnold, 44, of Elton Road, Wansford, was thrilled to see so many people come along to the free car show.
He said: "It was one of the better years. We didn't have as many cars as last year, I think the rain put people off. We still raised the amount of money we wanted to and it was still very successful.
"I think we had more people come and have a look. It got very busy towards the end."
Among the fantastic cars on show was a Ford GT600 sports car along with a host of Ferraris and a Trojan handbuilt pick-up truck powered by a lorry engine.
Prizes were handed out to the winning cars by Stamford mayor Coun Maureen Jalili and a Spitfire and Hurricane flew over the event.
