Description

As part of the RM Sotheby’s Veteran Car Run’s 125 Anniversary Celebrations, the Club are delighted to present a special commemorative pin badge for the event. The Veteran Car Run commemorates the emancipation Run of 1896 which celebrated the passing into law of the Locomotive on the Highway Act. It was this landmark legislation that raised the speed limit for ‘light locomotives’ from 4mph to 14mph and came after the equally antiquated requirement for a man to walk in front of all moving vehicles waving a red flag had also been abolished.
