The Royal Automobile Club (RAC) has announced that the RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run will be going ahead as planned on 1 November.

Ben Cussons, chairman of the RAC explained: “It gives the RAC enormous pleasure to be announcing this news and it’s wonderful that we are able to use the traditional London to Brighton route. The event will commence with a rolling start on The Mall and we wish every participant an unforgettable drive to Madeira Drive. It’s now full steam ahead to prepare for this year. I very much look forward to welcoming everyone in November and commemorating the 1896 Run.”

Maarten ten Holder, executive vice president and head of Europe at RM Sotheby’s, said: “It’s such fantastic news that the 2020 run will take place in November, in what is RM Sotheby’s first year as the title sponsor.

“We are excited to partner with such an iconic event and of course we very much hope that our sale in London, which coincides with the London to Brighton run, will be the first ‘live’ sale we can conduct in Europe since the pandemic hit.”
