Hundreds of vintage cars today took part in the Bonhams’ London to Brighton Veteran Car Run on Sunday.
More than 450 vehicles set off from Hyde Park this morning to drive the 60 miles to the East Sussex town as motoring enthusiasts flocked to the capital’s streets to watch.
But not everyone made it all the way.
One unlucky motorist was forced to call the RAC after his antique automobile gave up the ghost while others were also spotted having difficulties.
Now in its 121st year, the rally is the longest-running motoring event in the world.
The event commemorates the Emancipation Run of 14 November 1896 which celebrated the speed limit for ‘light locomotives’ being raised from 4 mph to 14 mph.
Until 1896, the law had required a man with a red flag to walk ahead of all cars, which meant they could not exceed walking pace.
To be eligible to enter, cars must have a pre-1905 registration. Vehicles must reach the Brighton finish line by 4.30pm to qualify for a medal.
Celebrity drivers taking part include Charley Boorman, driving a 1904 Rover 8 hp from the British Motor Museum, and BBC presenters Chris Evans and Alex Jones.
