Preston and District Vintage Car Club has invited LAC members to experience the pleasures of driving your vintage or classic car on the quiet roads of West Lancashire before ordinary folk get out of bed on a Sunday morning. Cap that with a hearty breakfast when you return and the rest of the day is free to do as you please.
The run, which includes an “interesting” form of treasure hunt is 36 miles and will take you along roads you may not have driven before, providing scenic views over the Mersey estuary and the Lancashire plain. Start and finish is at Brandreth Barn near Rufford GR 108/436139. (L40 0RJ) Meet from 8am with the first car leaving at 8.30am. The event is open to all members of PDVCC and Lancashire Automobile Club but only those in pre war cars will be eligible for championship points.

Following on from the Fellsman we had the Kendal 100 and it was great to see so many smiling faces despite the somewhat damp conditions at the start. The weather soon improved greatly and the entrants enjoyed some brilliant roads and pleasant weather as they followed in the steps of their forebears 120 years ago.

Mike Wood, David Williams, Glyn Hughes and DW Motorsport Photography were out on the event with their cameras close to hand. You will be please to hear that Jeff Chambers is continueing his recovery and has produced a video of the day.

We thought you might like to see this the latest episode of the LAC history series where we look back at the 3 Day Highland tour from 2007 & 2009. The Highland 3 Day has been a highly successful event and normally lasted 4 rather than 3 days! The event toured the Highlands of Scotland travelling from one venue to another for overnight stays. Averaging close on 200 miles per day the event attracted a loyal band of regulars over the years. Fancy dress with a Highland theme was popular amongst the entrants.

Continuing with our series of short videos Jeff Chambers has put together a video covering the St Georges Day Run 2014/15.

Some really great cars and wonderful roads combine to make an enjoyable delve into the past. Once again the event was in response to the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs plea to get vintage and classic cars out on the road for the public to see. The Lancashire Automobile Club ensures the routes have been different every year to keep the event fresh and planned to be suitable for Vintage, Classic and Cherished Cars.
