London to Brighton vintage vehicle rally

The historic pilgrimage from capital to coast commemorates the famous Emancipation Run of 1896 which celebrated the passing into law of the Locomotive on the Highway Act, raising the speed limit for self-propelled locomotives from 4mph to 14mph and thus heralding the advent of the motor car.

The Run starts along The Mall, St James's Park where the first car will cross the start line at sunrise and the last car leaving between 8.00am - 8.30am.

Every veteran car in the run must be manufactured before 1905, and around 300 vehicles typically take part each year.
