The route was originally popularised by the [[London to Brighton Veteran Car Run]] begun in 1927 for cars built before 1904 and re-enacting the original 1896 Emancipation Run, which was held on 14 November 1896 to celebrate the passing into law of the [[Locomotives on Highways Act 1896]] which raised the speed limit to {{cvt |14 |mph |km/h}} and did away with the need for a person to walk in front of a mechanised vehicle waving a [[red flag traffic laws|red flag]] to warn other road users. In 2007 531 cars participated and over ninety percent of them finished the course; in 2008 there were 550, with 126 international entries from as far away as Australia, Canada, USA, Argentina and South Africa.
