Background: Disrespectfully termed 'The Old Crocks Race', this year's Royal Automobile Club 'London-Brighton Veteran Car Rally' was the biggest ever, 249 cars were entered, 226 started and 213 finished, November 1.

One of the few reinless rallies, the run was watched by knots of spectators all along the 56-miles from London's Hyde Park to the sea, across Britain's beautiful South Downs.

Having a change from Formula One Grand Prix cars, was world championships contender Australian driver Jack Brabham. He was behind the wheel of a 1904 Sunbeam.

From America, for the first time since the original run on Emancipation Bay, 1896, were a Locomotive Steamer, 'Tilly the Teapot', driven by W.M. Weiant of Ohio; and a 1903 Oldsmobile piloted by Bay Henry also of Ohio.

Oldest car was an Arnold 1896 dogcart, rated at 1 1/2 hp. It covered the 56 miles in six hours:
First to arrive at Brighton was car No. 81, a 1901 Progress. Next came an 1896 Stephens, driven by the son of the man who built the vehicle.
