will fall on Sunday 17 April 2011
We will be collecting this year for
Public Viewing - Please come and cheer us on our way from key points along the route. All times are approximate - our vehicles range from pre-1930 cars that struggle up hills(or anywhere else, come to that) to 1970's sports cars that have performance similar to modern cars. And of course there will be some commercial vehicles and motor bikes. The sights, sounds and smells will be quite memorable. We will leave the start at 11:00 and finish at any time from 12:00 onwards. However, some will cut corners and arrive a bit earlier......others will just get lost and arrive late !!, We suggest that you get in your viewing position in plenty of time, allowing an average speed of 35mph for the fastest of us.
General We expect there to be around 50 participant vehicles. The run will be advertised in the Newsletters of Horsham Historics, the Morris Register and the Alvis Owner Club. The event is treated as a 'Preview' to our Show on 9/10 July at Ardingly & virtually all the Drive it Day entrants will be exhibiting at the
Show.

Thanks to all who took part last year, our sponsors and our volunteers who acted as marshals and co-ordinators. And a special thank you to the drivers of modern vehicles who showed restraint and respect when their speed was reduced by our slower vehicles. We hope you enjoyed the chance of seeing our vehicles doing what they were designed for. Pictures are here, apologies for the lack of 2010 pictures
