FORMER Gloucester star Phil Vickery will swap his rugby boots for driving gloves to open a car show this weekend.

The England prop forward, now with Wasps, will kick off the Gloucestershire Motor Show.

The event at Highnam Court will take place on Saturday and Sunday, from 10am to 5pm.

More than 100 classic cars will take centre stage at the stately home, and dealerships will display their latest models.

The show is being held in aid of two charities – the Pied Piper Appeal and Cruise Bereavement Care. Tickets are £5 and under 12s get in free.
