SIR,

Please may I use your column to assist me in my quest to find some of the 7,569 pink cars which are on the road in the UK?

I was delighted when the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders Ltd (SMMT) told me how many pink cars there are, but I'm struggling to find them and I'm hoping your readers might be able to help.

I organise an annual Pink Car Rally to raise awareness of, and funds for, a fledgling children's charity; The Little Princess Trust, which gives 'real hair wigs' to children who lose their hair, primarily through chemotherapy.

The charity helps children throughout the UK and only employs two part-time staff.

The rest of us volunteer our time, which means that most of the money raised is spent on wigs, rather than on staffing and admin costs.

Last year, 39 pink cars and a pink National Express Coach participated in the pink procession, but I really want to tell more pink car owners about it, in the hope that they will join us.

Each rally leaves Hereford, where the charity is based, and heads for a different children's hospital. This year's rally, on Sunday 4th September, will be going to the Children's Hospital for Wales, in Cardiff.

More information about the rally can be found at pink-car-rally.com
