BGUK_3403942 - Little more than a week after the UK clocks went back by an hour, the Royal Automobile Club turned back time by more than 120 years with its annual world-famous RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. This year featured the largest entry of pioneering pre-1905 vehicles in recent years. More than 400 ‘horseless carriages’ were joined by four veteran motorcycles, some penny farthings, and 25 veteran bicycles from the same period. This event pays tribute to the 125th anniversary of the 1000 Mile Trial of 1900. Many of these veterans now run – very happily – on ‘green’ sustainable biofuels. Indeed, all four of the Royal Automobile Club’s entries will be powered by a drop-in biofuel provided by SUSTAIN. The Run is not a race, and there are no prizes for the first car to reach Brighton.
