From the Swindon Advertiser, first published Friday 10th Sep 2004.

VINTAGE vehicles travelled through the streets of west Wiltshire at the weekend as motorists took part in the Bournemouth to Colerne Road Run.

The procession of vintage cars, dating between 1919 and the 1980s, passed through Warminster and Bradford on Avon on their way to Colerne on Sunday.

The Commercial Transport in Preservation (CTP), based in Salisbury, organised the annual run, which is now in its sixth year.

John Pomeroy, CTP chairman said: "To be part of this annual moving museum, history on the move, whether as a spectator or participant is an absolute must for the true enthusiast."

Up to 200 entrants took part in the procession, some travelling hundreds of miles to participate.

The CTP is the country's fastest growing commercial vehicle enthusiasts club with over 500 members nationwide.

A variety of vehicle makes featured in the event including Atkinson, Commer and Dennis.
