2019 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run

The London to Brighton celebrates the repeal of the legislation that required motor powered vehicles to have a man walk in front of the car waving a red flag to warn other road users of its approach. The 2019 run took place on 3rd November.

Cars taking part have to be over a hundred years old. The event happens every year, early in November with cars setting off from London at dawn.

Veteran Cars At Top Speed (Not Very Fast!)

The camera panning makes it look like the cars were storming along, in reality they go at a pretty sedate pace.
