A STREET in Taunton town centre will close to traffic on Monday (November 20) as classic car owners parade their vehicles to mark the official opening of a motor museum.
The classic cars will line up in North Street between 10am and 1pm as invited guests get their first glimpse around County Classics Motor Museum.
The museum has been a labour of love carried out by local businessman and car enthusiast Pat Hawkins, who has sunk his life savings into the project.

The opening ceremony of the museum in the former County Stores will be conducted by TV petrol head Richard Hammond along with Mr Hawkins and local dignitaries aboard a historic flat-bed lorry at 11am.
VIPs and a group of schoolchildren will then be given the chance to check out the exhibits on display inside, while people who have helped make the museum a reality will also be given a tour.
The doors will open to members of the public at 8.30am the following day (Tuesday, November 21).
