Stockton-on-the-Forest is to be the new home for a vintage car which has been shipped all the way from Australia.

Jim Boldry, who owns Northern Vintage and Classic Cars, now has a 1933 Plymouth to add to his collection, thanks to his son Mark.

"I fell in love with the car as soon as I saw it," said Mark, who bought the car while on holiday in Melbourne with his wife, from a relative who had restored it.

"I phoned my father straight away and he actually bought it before he had even seen a photo of it."

The car has already been taken out for a few runs around the village and will be taken to vintage rallies around the country later this year.
