National
Drive It Day was created in 2005 by the Federation of British
Historic Vehicle Clubs
It is the occasion when historic vehicle enthusiasts and the
public at large have the opportunity to celebrate the One
Thousand Mile Trial in 1900. It’s also raises the awareness
and support amongst the public for the historic vehicle movement
and keeping our transport heritage on UK roads.
FBHVC will continue to support the NSPCC’s Childline®
to raise money as an integrated part of Drive it Day. Please
support Childline® now via the FBHVC link:

One Thousand Mile Trial
It was organised by the Royal Automobile Club in 1900 to prove
the viability of the new invention, the motor vehicle. It started
in London and followed a route through Bristol, Birmingham,
Manchester, Derby, Kendal, Carlisle, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds,
Sheffield, Nottingham and back to London. There were 83 entries
of which 65 actually started. By Edinburgh 51 were still running
and 35 vehicles made it back to London. |
