2024 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run

Sunday 3rd November 2024 saw the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run leave Hyde Park Corner very early. The Car Run It is a uniquely British institution, celebrating the repeal of the Act of Parliament which required all cars have a person walking in front carrying a red flag to warn of a car approaching them. All the vehicles taking part were manufactured before 1905, making every well over 100 years old.

The Veteran Car Run leaves Hyde Park in central London at 07:00, escorted by a fleet of RAC breakdown vans to help them make it to Brighton. Veteran bikes (including Penny Farthings) leave slightly earlier.

Even early on an Autumn Sunday morning, there are always crowds of onlookers. There are also lots of bemused road users as the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run takes place on ordinary roads which are not closed for the event

Out of 387 listed entrants, I managed to photograph 191 individual cars a run rate of 49.4%. If you’re one of the drivers/passengers features, feel free to get in contact and I’ll send you the original high resolution picture.

Out of 387 cars taking part I managed to photograph 191. Some of the earlier pictures are a bit grainy as the morning was very overcast and lacking in sunshine. All cars are listed with their entry and registration number.
