See you in Brighton!

Tomorrow is the day where many veteran car enthusiasts from all over the world have been waiting for. The first weekend of November you spend in London! To meet up with your friends, bid in the auction, go to the pub, maybe already do some Christmas shopping but merely for... the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run!

 

A tradition

Just like Christmas, this has become for many a tradition. If you are not able to participate yourself this year, for whatever reason, you are without a doubt already looking forward to next year's event!

We from PreWarCar.com are of course also present this year. Perhaps you have already seen the PreWarCar.com advert on the back of your programme. We would very much like to wish everyone good luck tomorrow! Have fun guys and we hope to see you all at Madeira Drive in Brighton!

 

The Great Rally

Today's footage shows the start of 'The Great Rally' in Hyde Park back in 1965. But also the run itself reported and filmed from the back of a 1904 Alldays & Onion. It is always fun if you come across old footage from cars you have driven yourself. Maybe next year we can imitate the video. One of our staff can stand on the back of the Alldays with a tripod and camera to do live report!

Our questions to you:

  • Did anyone participate in the year 1965? If so, in which car? Did you see yourself in the video?
  • What is your most fun London to Brighton story?
  • If you are there this year, please send your pictures to [email protected] or in a comment below. We would love to see them and hear about your run.

I will make it to the Brighton run some day. But, look closely at the film, "Genevieve." It's showing new buildings, trucks full of new Morris Minors, the lady in the beginning has a bag of fresh food, all things that have been missing from English life for the last few years.
Also, think of what the rent would be today on that mews apartment!

Goodmorning. I sincerly hope that the weather will be good with a little sun and that all the participants will arrive in Brighton without too much mechanical damage. Cheers, Joop
