Hands up who's seen the film Genevieve ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genevieve_(film) Well, here she is, a 2 cylinder 1904 Darracq of 12HP, and we got a wave from the peeps on board too! ;D Title: Re: London Brighton Veteran Car Run - Sunday 3rd Nov 2013 Post by: Tony oily bike on November 03, 2013, 03:04:56 PM Some of the other beautiful Veterans

Title: Re: London Brighton Veteran Car Run - Sunday 3rd Nov 2013 Post by: Tony oily bike on November 03, 2013, 03:17:54 PM We stayed and watched for about 2 1/4 hrs, was a bit chilly but another spectator we got chatting to made us a coffee from his van which sure helped.
Would I recommend it - yep, sure would! ;) Title: Re: London Brighton Veteran Car Run - Sunday 3rd Nov 2013 Post by: Manky Monkey on November 03, 2013, 06:13:21 PM Is that the actual Genevieve Tony, or one of the same model? Great film.
I've never watched the London to Brighton, but always said I would one year. Did the trip with the Morris Minor owners club a few times. As you say, a chilly day, but bet it'd be a fun journey.
