Flying Scotsman 2012: "anything pre-war"

• 

We must assume that organiser Philip Young of the Flying Scotsman 2012 is an avid reader of this webmagazine. This reliability run from London to Edinburgh is named after the famous train route. The cars eligible :  "Anything pre-war, with a pre-war chassis, and a pre-war engine design." But his sense for marketing is healthy enough to keep the door open for postwar material "with two leafsprings at the front". And yes most participating cars - except a Lancia Lambda - have two leafsprings at the front. Probably also because the entry fee is prohibitive to most owners of transverse front leaf models like Austin Seven and Model T. Still it is a fine collection of  old boys toys.
