London-Brighton Commemorative Run
(Formerly the Ladner-Bellingham All British Run)
Commemorating the 1896 Motor Car Tour to Brighton
This is our major annual event and we invite you to
join us for this year's traditional celebration!

  
(just a few of the English cars at the start in 2007)

Honouring the tradition of our classic event, founded in 1996 by Roy Wilkins, we will commemorate the 1896 Motor Car Tour to Brighton (known today as the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run) and use a route with a similar distance (54 to 60 miles) along with other commemorative aspects of that classic that we think participants will enjoy. With a route entirely in British Columbia, we anticipate a good turnout.

This is the last major driving event of the season for English cars in British Columbia, so plan to join us on this traditional tour!
