Die Traditionalisten fahren ins Elektrozeitalter
Ampnet Bericht von Walther Wuttke
Glückwünsche vor dem Geburtstag sollen ja bekanntlich Unglück bringen, doch bei der britischen Sportwagenmanufaktur gingen die Uhren schon immer anders, und deshalb bringt Morgan jetzt Monate vor dem eigentlichen Termin die Jubiläumsmodelle zum 110-jährigen Bestehen der Marke auf den Markt.

The Royal Automobile Club is launching a new set of annual awards to recognise excellence and outstanding contributions to the UK’s historic motoring and motorsport industries at a gala evening to be held in the Club’s Pall Mall clubhouse on Thursday 21 November 2019.

As tradition dictates, Crawley High Street will once again be travelling back in time as the time-honoured halfway halt on next month’s running of the world famous Bonhams London to Brighton Veteran Car Run supported by Hiscox.

More than 120 years ago, all those motoring pioneers taking part in the original Emancipation Run in 1896 passed through Crawley’s welcoming town centre as they head south on what then was a very rudimentary A23.
