I did a few London to Brighton's in the 80s. The Police would be on all the traffic lights stopping the traffic and we would be out of London and on our way. The last I did was during the Miners strike and the London Police were up North. Replaced by Specials who had no idea, just stood at the lights watching the mayhem. Our run in the only Sturmy Artcher car ended in Brixton 2 hours after the start. The one off gearbox broken from the continuous stop start gearchanges.
