    I was there- I took a lot of pictures and then went to Brighton on the train and watched them come in. It was a grand day out!

    London to Brighton Run has got to be one of the greatest ever British traditions.

      Yes, but hardly a British car taking part because we lagged behind in motorcar
      manufacture and development. The French, Germans and Americans being well ahead.

      @@CEng-ge6sw Not sure I agree entirely - early Vauxhalls were pretty awesome. And obviously Austin and Morris were making them in volume. I think the biggest factors in there not being many British cars present was the rust inducing climate and also the lack of space to store old cars - I remember one of my Uncle's leaving his beloved Austin 7 on his garage roof in the 1970s. But he was an exception.

    Congratulations for keeping these vehicles roadworthy, brilliant. Each one has character whereas today majority are all the same and too complicated. Please keep this for many more generations. Bet the London air quality did not change either. All barking up the wrong tree!

    when i lived with my parents (many years ago) this used to go past my house, it was in kennington road just past lambeth north station. always amused me that several used to break down there, this was when it started (i believe) just over the north side of westminster bridge

      @@bobmarshall1066 That's great news. I have seen the film loads of times, yet I was convinced Genevieve was red. I had to check the film to find I was wrong. How memory plays tricks. When John Gregson was driving along the roads, the crew had to keep a lookout for both him and the police as he couldn't drive.

    We watched from Handcross this year, but in the past have done so on Pease pottage hill, and over the years ive helped push hundreds of cars up that bloody hill ! my only criticism, is why do the car passengers and driver not dress the part, shell suits and hoodies, trainers and the like look utter shyte, i know a lot of the cars, have fabulous looking outfits, and they really do look the part
