With just days left until the 2018 London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, Renault has revealed that the event will form part of its 120th-anniversary celebrations – a birthday which makes it almost as old as the Run itself.
The marque, which has the role of Official Manufacturer Patron on the Bonhams London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, will be represented on Sunday (4 November) by 19 pre-1905 vehicles.
One of these is Renault UK’s own 1900 Type C.
The manufacturer’s first four-seat model, the Type C has a 400cc engine with 4.5hp, and a 25mph top speed. It will be driven along the 60-mile route by Alasdair Worsley of the Renault Owners’ Club.
And the French brand will be demonstrating how far it’s come in the last 120 years with a display of its latest electric technology at Saturday’s Regent Street Motor Show.
Renault’s not the only marque to be making a particular effort this year, though, as Vauxhall has also confirmed its entry for Sunday’s Run.
The manufacturer – and long-time event supporter – has the distinction of being the only surviving British car brand eligible to enter the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
