HUNDREDS of Volkswagen fans from in and around Basingstoke shrugged off the threatening skies to join in the Endless Summer VW Show.

While it looked like it might rain, more than 1,000 people went to enjoy the show on Sunday, all in the name of a good cause.

It was the fourth annual show which is run in aid of children’s hospice Naomi House and Jacksplace.

So far, the shows have raised more than £10,500, and this year saw a total of around £1,500 raised.

On the day, 400 assorted VW cars, campervans, and sports cars of all shapes and sizes gathered at War Memorial Park.

Event organiser Allan Shepherd said: “I’ve been in the VW scene for 20 years, and made a lot of friends through it, with lots of them coming to the festival.

“I thought that we didn’t have any motoring events that were specific to VW, so I decided to set one up.

“It was great despite the threat of rain all day.”
