The Royal Automobile Club's annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run (LBVCR) is the world's longest running motoring event.  It attracts entrants from all over the globe and for the owners of these highly valuable Veteran cars it represents a rare opportunity to take their extraordinary automobiles on the 60-mile run from Hyde Park in central London to the seafront on the Sussex resort of Brighton.      

Few events in today's international calendar like the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run can claim such individuality, personality and character as around 500 fine examples of pre 1905 manufacture demonstrate their early engineering ability.

Royalty and personalities from the world of television, stage, music and sport often participate on the annual run which takes place on the first Sunday in each November and this website aims to provide detailed background and current event information for both spectators and participants alike.

Official event souvenirs including the event programme will also be available on line and website visitors will be pleased to note that spectating on the day is absolutely FREE of charge as the official route takes in the suburbs of London via Brixton, Lambeth and Streatham on the A23 and on through Norbury to Croydon and then the A235 to Purley reverting to the A23 to Redhill, Horley, Gatwick and Crawley plus the towns and villages on route to Brighton via Cuckfield and Burgess Hill. (See route page for full details)

The annual event benefits from support from long standing sponsors Tindle Newspapers, Renault, Bonhams, Wyler Geneve, Autocar, Classic & Sports Car, RAC Recovery, Hagerty, Kuoni DMC, The Regent Street Association, Castrol and new for 2009, 3-in-One and Ballie Gifford, have all added their long term commitment to the popular celebration of motoring.  Both the promoters and organisers much appreciate the support given by these companies. 

The event also has an addition in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run Concours which takes place during the Saturday in Regent Street, London on the day before each annual Run. Over 100 of the finest examples of these Veteran cars can be viewed close up in all their fine glory, all FREE of charge to the visiting public.  And for 2008, the dancers from the Moulin Rouge will be performing the French Cancan at the event.

Additionally the LBVCR Auction presented by Bonhams will be in action on Friday 30 October.  A line-up of Brighton eligible Veteran cars will go under the hammer at the New Bond Street Salerooms along with over 100 lots of Automobilia, with some in aid of a nominated Charity. Viewing is throughout Thursday (all day) and Friday morning with more details available from Bonhams at www.bonhams.com and 020 7629 6602.

We do hope that you will join us on this year's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run by visiting the Concours on the Saturday 31 October and cheering-on the hundreds of participants in the Run on Sunday 1 November 2009.
