The London to Brighton vintage car rally- 20061

Video Title :	The London to Brighton vintage car rally- 20061
Description :	The London to Brighton vintage car rally is an annual event that showcases vintage cars built before 1905 and coming from all over the world. I haphazardly came across this event hanging out in the street of East Croydon early in the morning while waiting to get ready to come back to New York City. When the first clip was taken, I had not known the funny looking cars were part of a rally. Rather, I thought that the people in East Croydon had some special kind of public transportation looking like the old cars. It was not until almost half and hour later when I asked a police what those things were did I learn about the annual rally.

Great video, thanks for posting. Aren't they old beauty's. It is such a shame that cars these days aren't built to the standards that the old cars were built to and also to do the slower speeds that these old cars used to do. There may not be as many horrific accidents on the road. They were definately built properly in those days.

Lovely video. For further local colour, did you realise the annual rally commemorates the change in British law which permitted a car to run without being preceded by a man on foot carrying a red warning flag? It's true!

Great video and great to see but one small error, just about all of these cars are veteran cars, not vintage

the best bit of this vid is recognising the pub i used to work at in croydon!

Wonderful! :-)

Put put put, put put put, putting the fun back into motoring! Great video. Wonder how many made it to Brighton? Do they call at every pub on the way? looks great fun. I wish they were taxi's!

Note quite sure.... I think you could actually pay to ride on them... :-)

Top Gear did an episode about early cars. Episode 8 of Season 10.

Thanks! :-)
