the dust settles on the Classic Motor Show, traditionally the unofficial close
to the historic vehicle 'season', enthusiasts will be turning their thoughts to
the coming year and making a note of scheduling events in their calendars. The
annual FBHVC Drive It Day is when historic vehicles of all sorts come out
of a winter lay-up are serviced and take to the road. It's a fun day and much
enjoyed by the general public who have a real affection for these important parts
of our motoring heritage.
There
is however a serious purpose behind Drive It Day. The Federation of British Historic
Vehicle Clubs, which devised and continues to promote the event, exists to protect
historic vehicle owners' rights to use the public | highway
and Drive It Day is a tangible and thankfully peaceful demonstration of enthusiasts
exercising that right.
It has been estimated that something like a quarter
of a million historic vehicles take to the roads on Drive
It Day and clubs traditionally hold meetings and 'scenic runs', very often
as their season opener. Given the purpose of the event the more the merrier! This
year the event reverts to its original format where FBHVC promotes the event nationally
and clubs are free to select routes and venues to suit their particular requirements. | | V8
