Purley welcomed the veteran cars on the London to Brighton run on a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning. Many people were out to wave to the participants and enjoy the stunning vehicles that travelled through Purley.
The annual November event attracts entrants from all over the globe and for the owners of these highly valuable veteran cars it represents a rare opportunity to take their extraordinary automobiles on the historic 60-mile run from Hyde Park in central London to the seafront on the Sussex resort of Brighton.
Our sincere condolences to the families affected by the tragic accident that later unfolded. Our thoughts are with all those involved.
