The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain
The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain
http://www.vccofgb.co.uk
The Club was founded in 1930 after the London to Brighton Run of that year. Three participants, S.C.H. (Sammy) Davis, J.A.(Jackie) Masters and Capt. J.H. Wylie gathered in the Courties Bar, OLD SHIP HOTEL, Brighton and decided to form a Club for veteran cars.
The Club office was set up in London, finally settling in Fitzhardinge Street. During the mid '70s, the Club purchased its own building (Jessamine House) at Ashwell in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside.
From 1976 the Club was run from Jessamine House but the growth of the archive information made the premises very cramped.HQ
At the rear of the site a large barn was situated; in 1991 this was converted into the modern Headquarters that we have to-day.
The Club up to the '50s accepted only veteran cars (up to the end of 1904). Some time in the 50s the closing date moved to 1916. In the 60s or 70s the dates were again changed to those we have now. No national motoring Club (like the VCC) covered cars built before 1919. Cars built from our closing dates to 1919 were being broken up for spares for models that continued after the First World War (i.e. Rolls Royce's Silver Ghosts and Ford's Model Ts. to name only two) or being scrapped.
