Southend Throwback: The souped-up cars by the seaside

Thousands of people gathered from across the UK to share their passion for cars on the Essex coast.

The Southend Throwback featured about 2,000 cars at the unofficial event in the seaside town.

The borough council took out an injunction following a similar event in 2015 to stop dangerous driving.

Organisers said they want to work with the authorities to put the town back on the map for car meets in the future.
