Worlds Oldest Motoring Event - Veteran Car Run 2024

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

It was an absolute blast to see these old timey cars puttering through London. The London to Brighton Veteran Car Run is the world's longest-running motoring event. All the car participating were built before 1905. Well worth freezing at 7am on a Sunday for your footage😂. In the background you can see Big Ben so you can see the time at which the footage was filmed.

[@Leefjuice4005]

What did you use to film it? I was suprised how smooth and nice the footage was

[@piogwit]

it feels weird to see these old vehicles next to modern ones

[@ferrumbellatorwarsmith3342]

I'm always fascinated by these old machines. Shame not many share that interest

[@Alexander-the-ok]

The car at 16:00 (reg number AW38) is entirely run and maintained by students from Imperial College. I was one of the co drivers and took part in this event back in 2007-2010. I was never dedicated enough to be the actual driver though!

[@tomkandy]

Y66 is owned by a former Imperial student who worked on Bo and then bought his own vintage car so he could keep on doing the brighton run.

[@Alexander-the-ok]

Ha I never knew that! Just looked up the owner and I remember him well. He graduated before I joined but regularly popped in and helped out.

[@ComradeFarquhar]

Judging by the age of some of these drivers they might be the first car they ever owned :p

[@tnrX999]

Lovely video, what an awesome sight....😊

[@malignant_rumor]

it's crazy to see just how far cars have come since these things were new. It really must've been a trip back then to see this thing puttering down the road, since horseless carriage is really the best way to describe it

[@Evaunit98]

I love cars like this, they have a heart and soul to them, they’ve certainly got more character than modern cars.

[@jcgabriel1569]

7:48, That's a Fiat GP racer, most likely, in that clip, it's just coasting around in 1st gear...

[@kineuhansen8629]

i cant put a word on but there is just something about old engines sounds special as a car lover my self that love engine sounds

[@ismailahmed1712]

I just hear "Hurl the crowbar of Embroyage" when seeing old cars like these.... IYKYK

[@ahtaimo]

I thought the same thing! Laughed out loud

[@lordofthelavalamp8255]

Thanks for freezing your butt of Iron! Always nice to see old vehicles :3

[@red_d849]

7:06 theres more cars with that engine cover design in this video than there are cybertrucks in the entirety of my US state of Oregon 💀

[@ahtaimo]

Remarkable to see so many American Olds runabouts in England

[@limer.6355]

just impressive and lovely vid. thx for sharing

[@nojoojuu]

What a treat! Thank You! As we all can see, there was no rain in the UK 100y ago, no windshield or roof needed. So wonderful cars I almost wish it was 1920 for a day :)

[@Mercmad]

People were tougher back then and windshields were considered to be a dangerous fad... 😉😉

[@medialex78]

This would be great! Unfortunately, in Eastern Germany more and more people tend to wish it was 1933 again... Shocking!

[@lennonkelly-james2693]

They should mass produce these old timey vehicles just with modern parts. There's a fortune to be made here.

[@workingguy-OU812]

That sky reminds me of the Pittsburgh, PA, sky - though in Pittsburgh it can be that same horizon-to-horizon grey for months at a time. Wonderful contraptions / layouts that I've never seen before; seems like some of those general designs either weren't common, weren't saved, or were never built in the USA. Love the Old FART truck at 11:05.

[@hammersti3n540]

lol had to be a car with isle of wight reg plate that stop right in front of you ... these car always make me think of wind in the willows and Mr toad

[@Mercmad]

16:24 early 20th Century cars slowing down to take in a 21st Century photo shoot on the Bridge.

[@KerbsideClassics]

awesome video great to see such a good turnout

[@jcgabriel1569]

The car at 4:12 is owned by Duncan Pittaway, of the Fiat S76 fame... Mr. Pittaway is at the back, apparently tending to the boiler (it's a steam-powered car)

[@HawkeyeTM]

Man I'm annoyed I didn't see this sooner, I happen to know one of the volunteers for the meet and even went up to London with them last year, but decided against doing it again because of how early in the day it would be. At least seeing the video in my feed made me feel like I made the right choice, weird as it sounds.

[@nitebones1]

proper supprisng how many of these there are and still run dispite their age

[@classicforreal]

"Oh hey it's a car video on my feed must be from Intergalactic Binman or something" "Oh hey a new video from Iron Armenian showed up on my feed must be about War Thunder." "What do you mean it's the same video?"

[@audiencesmember]

This is beautiful! Especially with the Parliament Building being the background. What camera did you use? these are some fine footage!

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

I filmed this on a S23 Ultra, I used a Gimbal with my phone to make the footage steady when filming

[@ZXC5000]

It is things like this that help make Britain Great

[@prof.kennethharrisonsr.7679]

Keep it great.

[@alanthefisher]

finally, the doohickey parade

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

Oh hey, I enjoy watching your videos :D Small world 😆

[@Masterhitman935]

Ya history!!!

[@pdtech4524]

Where's the man waving the red flag? ⚠️🤔😲😳

[@mikeyfisher4256]

5:40 that goofy ahh horn tho 💀

[@willbill680]

I’d hate to see the ULEZ charge for some of those antiques😂😂

[@YogurtSnipe]

I think that’s the most model cars I’ve ever seen in a video.

[@classicforreal]

But seriously I want to do like Mike Brewer and Edd China and go on this thing, except for the failing it because you took too long to get a car part.

[@CobraDBlade]

How the average American imagines British traffic

[@funkybird6377]

Very majestic very demure

[@TX200AA]

I wonder how many were fined for driving in the bus lane? I saw at least a dozen risking the wrath of Khan.

[@Juazeiro69]

How many got tickets for going over 20mph?

[@comradewyvern1150]

Great video! God bless, Jesus loves you!

[@adamallen1097]

Does that fall into the ULEZ category 😂

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

I think ULEZ doesn't apply to vehicles over a certain age.

[@adamallen1097]

@ over 40 years I think

[@imicca]

Tfl be like “oi got a loicense for that ? thats not ULEZ friendly.”

[@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs]

Lucky ULEZ doesn't comply if the car is old enough :D

[@imicca]

@@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs hehe nice!

[@medialex78]

Jost keep on droiving...

[@Briselance]

​@@medialex78 Aye, aye, skipper!

[@Vtarngpb]

Oh no… _hipsters_ and their penny farthings… 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@tomkandy]

Hipsters ride fixies. These are something far, far worse - steampunk nerds

[@Briselance]

​@@tomkandy Fixies? What is that?

[@MrPatch25]

Wow something British was allowed omg
