Brighton Run correction

In our Brighton Run report, printing schedules caused some items to go astray. For example, the Emancipation Run took place in 1896 today’s run is organized solely by the RAC, and Lord Montagu drove his Daimler, not a De Dion. In mentioning the Mercedes 60 we should have said that if this was the first sports car the Mercedes Simplex was a splendid touring car. As usual Daimler-Benz organisation was excellent, they brought their two cars from Stuttgart in a Type 813 Mercedes Benz truck with trailer with a Type 230TE back-up car. Finally, the 1891 Panhard was not the oldest car ever to take part in the Run as stated last month because the Science Museum’s 1885 Benz appeared on two occasions, arriving successfully the second time.
