An impressive display of classic cars recently turned heads during a special rally gathering.
More than 40 pre-1957 Citroën vehicles visited Purbeck Mining Museum in Norden as part of the three-day Jurassic Coast Rally, which featured nearly 100 enthusiasts.
The event was organised by the Traction Owners Club to celebrate its 50th anniversary and included participants from across the UK, as well as Ireland and France.
Gavin Davey, one of the rally’s organisers, said: "Everyone really enjoyed the tours around the museum and were fascinated to see and hear all about an industry that has played such a significant role over many centuries in helping to shape the countryside, economy and communities in this area of the Purbecks.

"It really is a hidden gem in the Isle of Purbeck."
The visit marked the largest adult group the museum has ever hosted.
Peter Sills, museum lead, said: "We welcome groups of all ages and always ensure we have volunteers on hand to cater for specific requirements and areas of interest."
The Purbeck Mining Museum is run entirely by volunteers and features historic mining equipment, artefacts, and displays.
It is open most days through to October and group tours can be arranged in advance.
