Veteran Car Run

Sunday! And what a surprise I got this morning when I left home for my coffee. It was The Annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. The cars drive right in front of our home every year, and I forgot it was happening today. The first event took place in 1896, but it was only from 1927 that it became an annual event. It is the longest-running motoring event and to qualify the must have been built before 1905. It starts in Hyde Park at around 7:00am and finish at Brighton, which is a distance of 87km. It is not a race, and in fact there is a speed limit 20mph (32km/h) imposed. The order the cars finish is never posted and all cars finishing by 16:30 are awarded a medal
I’ve been lucky enough to see this twice when I’ve been in London! So much fun even in the rain!

We live out in the country and fortunate that we’re able to see them just about every year 😊
