Mayor of Camborne Zoe Fox joined Cornwall members of the Military Vehicle Trust as they took their vehicles out for a spin to raise money for the Royal British Legion (RBL).
A convoy of historical vehicles, including five Jeeps and a 1943 GMC Tractor Unit, sparked smiles and donations along their journey.
Organiser Ben Davis said: "We are back, bigger and better than ever".
With stops at Portreath 'WAAF' site and the village church, their procession continued toward Illogan Church War Memorial, marking their respect by laying a poppy wreath.
The vehicles then made their way to the Roscroggan Memorial in Camborne Parish, where local RBL chairman Steve Nichols and standard bearer Alan Millard greeted them.
Mayor Fox paid tribute to the WW2 Air crew, laying another poppy wreath in commemoration of their sacrifice.
Mr Davis added: "In addition to showcasing our vehicles we also pay tribute to the men and women who built, maintained and used them".
"We are very proud of our association with the RBL, Armed Forces day and others."
Mayor Fox, sharing Mr Davis's Jeep alongside Mayor's cadet Tiffany Davis, rode back to Camborne with the group.
Still brimming with excitement, Mayor Fox thanked those involved.
She said: "It's been a privilege to ride along and so exciting!
"Thanks to the organisers and the MVT for all their efforts.
"It's wonderful to see such dedication and really important to keep history alive and remember the sacrifices of the past".
The event stands to mark the revival of what was an annual display of military remembrance and historical appreciation.
"With robust support and evident community impact, the Military Vehicle Trust's presence remains vital in preserving the past, while driving towards a future of memorable connections.
