It was third time lucky for the Wanganui Vintage Car Club's 2020 Daffodil Rally on Sunday.

After two cancellations due to Covid-19 restrictions, the fundraising event to support the Cancer Society went ahead with around 120 vehicles joining in.

Photographer Lewis Gardner and reporter Liz Wylie caught up with some of the drivers before they left the Whanganui War Memorial Centre.

Although the rally was open to all vehicles, there was a big representation of vintage and classic cars ready to hit the road.

The rally is a "scatter run", meaning vehicles could head in several different directions rather than in a procession and choose which clues to follow as long as they completed the run in two hours. The overall winner was Chris Luke in his Chrysler Valiant.

The rally is estimated to have raised $1500 for the Cancer Society.
