Drive It Day 2012

ACE VENUE FOR FBHVC DRIVE IT DAY ™ – 22 April 2012

The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs has announced that Drive it Day 2012 will be held on Sunday 22 April and this year the famous Ace Café on the North Circular Road, will provide a venue for enthusiasts in North London.

The Federation will be on hand at the historic venue to meet and greet members and explain its work and activities while the café will be providing its own blend of nostalgia and refreshment to patrons.

Elsewhere, clubs and local organisations are encouraged to hold gatherings on the day to provide old vehicle enthusiasts (including motorcyclists) with the excuse to get out and blow the winter cobwebs away, even if they only use their historic vehicle to go to the shop to buy a newspaper. A number of more formal events are already planned and can be accessed through the FBHVC website:

The original Drive it Day concept was to celebrate the Thousand Mile Trial when 64 cars set off from London on 23 April 1900 on a three week reliability trial around Britain in order to promote the motorcar as a means of reliable travel to the public.
Drive it Day has been held annually since 2006 on a Sunday closest to the original date.

Many of our Regions in the Club are arranging events for this date also and details can be found below
There is of course the ever popular annual Jaguar London to Brighton Run as well.
