A range of vintage models will be on show at Ye Olde Bell Hotel, Barnby Moor, as the drivers make a pit stop on their way to Dover before travelling on to Monaco.

They will be leaving Glasgow around 5pm on Sunday, 29th January, and are expected to pull over around 9.30pm.

The official checkpoint opens at 9pm with refreshments available and the bar open.

It has been 101 years since the first Monte Carlo Rally in 1911, started by Prince Albert I of Monaco as an endurance and adventure for drivers to travel the 2190 miles in their classic cars over the frozen Alps in winter into the sunshine of Monaco.
