Sorry for the delay in posting this one, but here it is, hopefully better late than never.
It was a great day last Sunday, beautiful sunshine all day, and not too cold. As always a magnifcent array of veteran machinery making their way to Brighton including a good number of early bicycles. Plenty of other interesting vehicles of all ages, out and about throughout the day including two sevens, an Opal and a Ruby. The earliest car to pass us was the 1896 Panhard & Levassor 6CV Omnibus (Pictured below), a truly stunning machine, and a magnificent sight. Below is some video I took during the day, and also a few pictures of a range of the cars and bicycles. I've tried to not go too mad with pictures, but if you would like to see more just let me know.
Video first...
Austin Sevens...
1935 ARQ 'Ruby' Saloon
1936 APE 'Opal' 2 Seat Tourer
Veterans
#438 1896 Panhard & Levassor 6CV Omnibus, entered by Mike Timms, and driven by Thomas Sömmer
#10, an 1897 Bergmann 5hp Vis-A-Vis, entered and driven by Ron Mellowship
#20, an 1899 Brown 2.25hp Quadricycle, entered and driven by David Oakley
11 Herbert Austin Wolseleys passed us during the day, the earliest was #29, the 3rd Wolseley car and first 4 wheeler, the 1899 3.5hp Voiturette. The car was entered by Stephen Laing, and driven by Hanno Kirner.
A magical sight. A 'Penny Farthing' following a 1900 Mobile 5.5hp Steam Runabout (#56 - John Blackford), a 1903 Oldsmobile Model R 'Curved Dash' Runabout (#259 - Nigel Todd), and you can just about see an edge of a 1934 Austin 12-4 Taxicab on the right.
#63, a 1900 Stephens 10hp 6 Seat Dogcart, entered and driven by Thomas Loder
