A 78-year-old is set to drive 400 miles in a 1957 KR200 Messerschmitt from Somerset for charity.

Wynford Jones will make the journey from Taunton to Land’s End and back to mark the 40th anniversary of the Bristol Microcar Club Rally, which he established in 1986.

On his first rally, Mr Jones completed the same sponsored trip, raising money and showcasing the capabilities of the small vehicle.

This year, he is undertaking the journey again to support the Multiple Sclerosis Dorset Centre, with donations welcome at justgiving.com/page/wynforddrives400miles.

His journey will start at Taunton's County Classics Motor Museum at 9am on Wednesday, July 1, and is expected to conclude at the Lands’ End Hotel, Penzance, at 6pm.

The Bristol Microcar Club Rally has been a cherished event for four decades.

It has united enthusiasts and celebrated unique vehicles throughout its existence.
