London to Brighton Veteran Car Run

The first Sunday in November is the date for the annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run (for cars built before 1905). It has been held every year (except during petrol rationing) to celebrate the emancipation of the motor car - the raising of the speed limit from 4mph to a staggering 14mph and the abolition of the Act that required someone to walk in front with a red flag.

After trolling down to Hyde Park for the 07:00 start, I wanted to choose some pictures that conveyed the spirit of the event. This is the one I settled on - click here for the "also ran"

Lots more pics here.
