Vintage cars streamed through Croydon on Sunday, November 4, as the Veteran Car Run from London to Brighton hit town.
The procession of 366 cars, which have to be built before January 1, 1905, to take part, came through Croydon between 8am and 9am, and attracted small crowds to North End.
The annual event started at Hyde Park in London at 7.30am, with the oldest models setting off first, but with average speeds of only 15mph, it takes many of them over an hour to reach Croydon.
The mayor of Croydon, Councillor Peter Hopson was on hand to wave on the procession including cars from France and America.
Many were filled with passengers including one CGV built in 1904, which had 90-year-old Freda Bradbrook, of Croydon, in the back and her son Michael driving.
