Legend Moss on the road to Brighton
Legendary British racing driver Sir Stirling Moss OBE FIE and Lady Moss will take part in the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, on Sunday November 4 November, as passengers alongside Chris Jaques, from East Sussex.
The 83-year-old Sir Stirling is widely recognised as the greatest all-round racing driver in the history of motor sport.
He continues to travel the world fulfilling appearance and promotional engagements as well as demonstrating historic racing cars. The annual London to Brighton Veteran Car Run is hosted by the Royal Automobile Club and is the world's oldest motoring event.
Speaking about the forthcoming ride, Sir Stirling said: "Everybody leads such a hectic life these days that it's nice to relax the pace every so often. My wife and I are very much looking forward to a gentle trip down to Brighton at no more than 20 miles an hour! However, even at that moderate pace it still takes a lot of skill and concentration to steer one of these old cars to the finish. At least there will be little chance of my being stopped by a police officer and asked: 'Who do you think you are, Stirling Moss?'"

Chris Jaques will be driving a 1903 Panhard Levassor which he acquired in 1973 from the son of the original owner, the Compte de Blanchard of Rambures, near Abbeville in France. It had been laid up since 1926 but Chris had it running again within 24 hours. The Jaques have completed around 35 London to Brighton Veteran Car Runs and only broken down once. A few years ago, the car won the prestigious Regent Street concours event which always precedes the run to Brighton.
One hundred and sixteen years since it was first run, this year's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run will feature a maximum entry of 500 pre-1905 vehicles making their way from Hyde Park in London to Madeira Drive, Brighton.
