Insider’s view: Starting the 2023 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run with a 1902 Columbia

The dawn is breaking over London and around 380 veteran cars have just set off, or are about to, on a 60-mile drive to the coast. We’re among them, at the helm of an oily-rag 1902 Columbia electric car, and we’re livestreaming the start, so hop on board with us as we begin or journey.
