Organisers have postponed a gathering of more than 1,000 classic and modern sports cars in Weybridge, Surrey, due to a weather warning.

The New Year's Day Classic Gathering, held at Brooklands Museum, has previously attracted more than 7,000 people.

But forecasts of stormy conditions, including strong gusts, have forced organisers to reschedule the event to 4 January.

Tickets remain valid for the new date, organisers said.

Doors will open at 09:00 GMT, while the museum and displays open an hour later.

Organisers say their annual event is the largest of their year with live music and food stalls at the former Brooklands Motor Racing Circuit site.

While sports and supercars are welcome, only pre-31 July 1995 vehicles are allowed to join the display alongside the museum's own collection.
