ROVER enthusiasts flocked to a museum for the region's biggest exhibition of the make.

Beamish Museum, in County Durham, staged an All Rover Rally, with about 250 Rovers of all ages and models, on Saturday and yesterday.

Among the highlights were vehicles from the 1930s and 1940s and latest models.

Of special interest to real enthusiasts were a number of Series One Land Rovers dating from the 1940s.

A spokesman for the event said: "Adding to the unique Beamish attraction, there were enthusiasts' clubs and trade stands to visit.

"And four wheel drive owners had the opportunity to take their vehicles on one of two nearby off-road courses."
