Yes the umpteenth running of the world famous London to Brighton classic car rally is held today.
Isn't it time though they changed the entry rules though?
Cars must be pre 1905 in order to qualify. Maybe if the had a rolling 100 year minimum it would create more interest?
I'm sure there's lots of 1905-1910 onwards classics that would love to compete in forthcoming years?

A very fair point - at least from that of the owners rather than the cars themselves..:-)

I went to hyde park for the start once. It was raining then as well. Frankly this thing bores me to death. Cars of that age have little relevance to motoring as we know it, plus they are always as ugly as sin.
It needs to evolve, the 100 year rolling entry qualification idea is a good one.

It's Genevieve day!
That's a good idea!
I'll get the old video out-always makes me laugh, especially on a lousy wet day like today.

Just think. In around 100 years' time people will be turning out to watch a possee of Golf, Mondeo, Focus (sublime saloon in gold the highlight), Megane, Espace, Scenic, Astra, Vectra et al models slowing trundling along from the capital to the coast.
No doubt there will be the rare AR and Fiat owners busy at the roadside trying to cure electrical faults during the rally...:-)
