The RAC has confirmed its Summer Veteran Car Run for pre-1905 cars will return in July following the first-ever run’s huge success
‘With the sun higher in the sky, the Summer Run is a far more relaxed gathering’
ESUMMER VETERAN CAR RUN WOODCOTE PARK, WILMERHATCH LANE, EPSOM, SURREY KT EW. THURSDAY, JULY.
stablished to provide owners of pioneering vehicles with a leisurely opportunity to enjoy their cars, this year’s follow-up event is confirmed for July.
It’s a rare opportunity for spectators to see genuine dawn of motoring vehicles in action on the road as their owners prepare to take part in November’s RM Sotheby’s Londonto-brighton Veteran
Car Run, now in its record 127th year.
Sticking to last year’s format, the one-day 45-mile Summer Run will be based at the Royal Automobile Club’s country Woodcote Park clubhouse near Epsom, Surrey. The intrepid veterans will then enjoy a unique day’s motoring excursion spanning the rolling hills and countryside.
Royal Automobile Club chairman, Ben Cussons, said: ‘Last year’s
Summer Run was a wonderful warm-up for the London-tobrighton Run and we are excited to be oering a similarly special event this July.
‘As tradition famously dictates, the annual homage to the original Emancipation Run must always take place on the first Sunday in November when brave participants often experience very challenging weather.’ ‘With the sun higher in the sky, the Summer Run is a far more relaxed and sociable gathering, as well as a fabulous opportunity for veteran car owners to ready themselves and their cars for the main event three months later. And of course it is a wonderful display of moving history for the public. We’ve been overwhelmed by the response and only have a few slots available.’
