Veteran Car Run

Nov 2005 (annual)
The Veteran Car Run celebrates a red-letter day in the history of British motoring: the "Emancipation Run" from London to Brighton celebrated the passing of the Locomotives on the Highway Act. This raised the speed limit for "light locomotives" and abolished the requirement to be preceded by a man on foot. The event is not a race, the cars are limited to an average speed of 20 mph and the only reward for a successful run is a Finisher's Medal (awarded to all who reach Brighton before 4.30pm)

National Speed Trials
