Regent Street, London, 3rd November - pre London to Brighton
Discussion
The saturday before the oldest running motoring event takes place for 2007, half of Regent Street in central London was closed off for over 100 vehicles taking part in the run to be seen up close by the public, and for some of them to give demonstration runs. Enjoy!

Renault
Pierce Arrow charabanc, which is the OLD Friends Antique Rapid Transit! Presumably this spent some of it's time as a military lorry if built before/during WWI
My favourite, 'Genevieve', star of the film of the same name. She's a 1904 Darracq and was found in a yard full of rubble shortly after WWII. After filming she spent forty years in Australia before returning to Europe in 1990, and is now part of a large collection in the Netherlands.
