On November 14, 1896, the British Motor Car Club celebrated legislation raising the legal speed limit from 4mph to 14mph with the Motor Car Tour to Brighton. Now known as the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, the event continues to the present day and OECC’s Vancouver Coast Branch has been celebrating it since the hundredth anniversary in 1996.

** Note: If you’d like to have lunch ready for you when you arrive you can pre-pay for one of the limited choice menu items below. However, please ensure you complete your menu item pre-order before the end of day Thursday, October 30, to allow the restaurant enough time to provide the necessary services.  The pub has a very extensive menu and if you’d rather choose an item from their main menu you can order it on arrival at the pub after the run, although it may take much longer to receive your meal. If the weather is inclement and you decide not to do the run and you have prepaid you would still be welcome to join us for lunch.

** The lunch pre-order option has now closed, however you can still order from the pub menu on the day of the event.

** Reminder to set your clocks back one hour on Saturday night. You get the extra hour sleep to better prepare you for Sunday’s adventure!
