BONHAMS LONDON TO BRIGHTON VETERAN CAR RUN 4 NOVEMBER

The world’s oldest classic car event has been running since 1896, which means that it has taken even longer to make the journey than a Southern Rail train… Boom boom! But in all seriousness, it’s a miracle that around 400 pre-1905 vehicles complete the 60-mile route from the capital to Madeira Drive on the south coast – a tribute to the era’s built-to-last engineering and the dedication of the owners. Be sure to turn out and show your support along the way.
