London to Brighton Veteran Car Run

The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run comes round again this November with a whole host of cars from the good old days of motor sport. All cars taking part in the run are older than 1905 and make for a fine display of character, individuality and personality. A real spectacle for any motoring fan or lover of classic cars, the London to Brighton veteran car run is a special event that will be enjoyed by all.

With celebs, musicians, sport and stage stars, and even royalty taking part in this annual event, the well renowned veteran car run is a sight to see on the streets of London. Setting off early in the morning on Sunday 2nd November, you can wave the runners and riders off on the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run and check out all the cars as they go.

This year the Veteran Car Run is based around the theme of French motor manufacturing from the period up to 31 December 1904. With a launch in Paris with the girls from the Moulin Rouge, and performances from them on the concours day at Regent Street, there will be plenty of ooh la la at the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run 2008.

For those that can't bear the thought of getting up early on a Sunday morning, the cars taking part in the London to Brighton run are on display in Regent Street on Saturday 1st November. Over 100 of the 500 cars taking part can be viewed in all their glory from 11am to 3pm, free of charge to the public, meaning those that have always faniced owning one of these classic veteran cars, can get up close and personal to the motor of their dreams. Check out the different makes and models, see how old they are, and take note of your favourite car and you will be entered into a free prize draw to win a special prize.

The car run concours at Regent Street gives you a heads up as to the cars taking part in the race. Leaving the starting point at 6.58am from Hyde Park in pairs, the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run will then continue to send the cars off in pairs until 8:15am, before they will appear on the Sussex coast in Brighton for the end of the race.
