A RALLY and classic car run was held in memory of a Lampeter motoring enthusiast on Sunday.

Lampeter town councillor Greg Evans died last May having battled a brain tumour for several months.

He was president of Lampeter Motor Club at the time of his death and on Sunday fellow enthusiasts took to the roads in his memory.

“My dad loved cars and we thought this would be a good way to remember him,” Mr Evans’s daughter, Delun, told the Cambrian News.

“The last time I talked to Greg before he was taken ill we discussed the possibility of organising an historic car run,” said close pal Islwyn Evans.

“On Sunday we finally got round to having one – it’s such a shame Greg wasn’t there.”

Drivers assembled at Lampeter’s Rookery car park at 11am and began their 75-mile run, taking in Llandovery and Tregaron, at 12.30pm.

All proceeds from the event went towards Brain Tumour Research.

The classic car run was followed by evening entertainment at the university.
