The 45th annual Rolls Royce Enthusiasts’ Club North of England Rally unfolded in style against the stately backdrop of Harewood House today (August 3).
Some of the UK’s most prized examples of the marque were on show, from vintage classics to modern masterpieces. The rally brought together proud owners eager to share the heritage of their cars with visitors.
Picnics were unpacked across the sweeping North Front lawns, while others cooled off with a refreshing ice cream in the summer sunshine.
Here are all of the best pictures from this year’s rally -
