The Veteran Car Club was founded in 1930 after the London to Brighton Run of that year. Three participants, S.C.H. (Sammy) Davis, J.A.(Jackie) Masters and Capt. J.H. Wylie gathered in the Courties Bar, Old Ship Hotel, Brighton and decided to form a Club for veteran cars.

The Club up to the '50s accepted only veteran cars, up to the end of 1904. Some time in the 50s the closing date moved to 1916. In the 60s or 70s the dates were again changed to those we have now. No national motoring Club, like the The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain, covered cars built before 1919. During those early times cars that were built from our closing dates to 1919 were being broken up for spares for models that continued after the First World War (i.e. Rolls Royce's Silver Ghosts and Ford's Model T's to name only two) or being scrapped.
Now the Club are pleased to accept all cars manufactured before 1919 (conditions apply). For more information about the club, please call 01462 742818.

The Rally will come to Burghley park on 25th April.
