A SCALEXTRIC track and collection of classic Volkswagens attracted lots of attention when crowds of visitors and customers turned up to a car dealership open day.

Abridge Volkswagen, in Langston Road, Loughton, put on a selection of vintage cars including a Mark 1 Golf GTI and Scirocco to mark the launch of the new Golf GTI.

Manager Frank Plant said: “We were delighted that so many joined us over such a wet weekend.

“We had many crashes through the weekend but fortunately these were just on the scalextric track, so no injuries sustained just dented prides.”
