30 September 2026. Lockton Performance is delighted to announce it will be the Official Insurance Partner to the RM Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run. The event is the world’s longest-running motoring event, with this year marking 130 years since the first-ever Emancipation Run in 1896 and celebrating 140 years of the motor car.
The event is hosted by the Royal Automobile Club and begins in Hyde Park, London, on Sunday the 1st of November. Driving veteran, vintage, and classic vehicles made before 1905, participants will drive 60 miles to the finish line on Madeira Drive in Brighton. Lockton will be at the Central Marquee during the event, welcoming participants and attendees, providing hot drinks and sharing our genuine passion for motor vehicles.
John Collyear, Senior Vice President for Lockton Performance, said: “It is incredible to think that the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run has been running for over a century, and Lockton Performance is honoured to be returning as Official Sponsor. The Car Run is enjoyed every year by the owners of luxury, classic, and performance cars who have high expectations of their tailored insurance cover. We’re looking forward to meeting with owners and motoring fans to discuss their specific motor risks and how we can support them.”
