Motoring enthusiasts will have the chance to see dozens of luxury, classic and performance cars around the Isle of Man this weekend as the Festival of Motoring returns.
The event, organised by Scenic Car Tours, takes place from Thursday, September 17, to Sunday, September 20, with this year's theme celebrating the ‘Best of British’.
Around 40 Aston Martins and 35 Lotus cars will be among the vehicles taking part, alongside Triumphs, Morgans, MGs and other classic and performance cars.
The public will be able to see the cars at a number of locations across the island during the four-day festival.
On Thursday, the cars will be on display at Fenella Beach in Peel from noon until 2pm.
On Friday, the vehicles will visit the Isle of Man Motor Museum and Jurby Transport Museum between 10am and 5pm, with cars arriving and leaving throughout the day.
Saturday will see a selection of cars at Jurby Circuit between 9am and 11am, before all of the event cars gather on Douglas Promenade for a static display from noon until 3pm.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to support local charity Looky’s Aid by booking a passenger ride in their dream car through the Sporting Bears stand.
Looky's Aid is a registered charity helping underprivileged, ill, disabled, and disadvantaged young people.

Organisers have warned that vehicles will be arriving and leaving the various locations throughout the weekend and visitors should be aware of increased traffic.
Away from the public displays, participants will take part in a programme of organised driving activities designed to showcase some of the island's roads and scenery.
These include runs along the Sloc Road, laps of the TT Mountain Course as part of a supervised motorcade and a closed-road run on the Mountain section.
Kieran Line, one of the senior organisers at Scenic Car Tours, said the event would provide an opportunity for people to get close to the cars and meet their owners.
He said: ‘It will be a spectacular opportunity for everyone to take a closer look at these iconic luxury cars and chat to their owners about what it’s like to get behind the wheel.’
He added that the island's scenery provided a backdrop for photographs of the vehicles and invited local classic car owners to take part.
The Festival of Motoring was first introduced in 2021 and was created to celebrate driving and the variety of vehicles within the motoring community.
It welcomes classic and vintage cars alongside modern sports and performance vehicles, with organisers saying previous events have attracted hundreds of vehicles and visitors.
