Prologue
Bonhams Veteran Car Run
The 2014 London to Brighton, 118th Anniversary, Veteran Car Club Run fielded more than 400 astonishing pre 1905 veteran cars as well as historically later models for display. Even a collection of new models pushed their way onto the street to join the festivities.
Today, it represents a rare opportunity for participants to take their extraordinary automobiles on this historic 60-mile journey from Hyde Park in central London to the seafront in the Sussex resort of Brighton.
The 500 fine examples of pre-1905 manufactured vehicles that take part in the 60-mile demonstration showcase the pioneering spirit and engineering ability of the early motorist.
