A series of rallies, which saw a convoy of scrap cars travel from Hampshire to Scotland and take part in Top Gear style challenges, have raised more than £100,000 for charity. 

Scrap to the Future: Part III, which took place at the weekend, gave a welcome boost of £35,000 to Planets Cancer Charity at University Hospital Southampton.

Following the success of events in 2017 and 2019, the third part of the trilogy saw patients, clinicians and supporters get behind the wheels of road legal scrap cars valued at under £500.

Over the course of two days, the cars travelled to the Cameron House Hotel at Loch Lomond for a gala dinner. 

All the vehicles were then scrapped and proceeds donated to the cause.
