The Royal Automobile Club and the Veteran Car Run Steering group are
delighted to present the third annual Motoring Forum, taking place on
Thursday 30 October from approximately 10.15am to 3.00pm in the
Mountbatten Room at the Club’s Pall Mall clubhouse.
We are pleased to welcome veteran car specialists Stewart Silbeck and Evan Ide, who will give lectures in the morning session, while after a light buffet luncheon, esteemed Formula 1 designer Ross Brawn will deliver a talk.
In the afternoon, an open debate will centre on the care of automobiles and automobilia, looking at the implication of restorations on values; should originality be sacrificed for value? How does one determine provenance? What responsibility do we have to preserve cars for the future generations and how we will deal with the increasing burden of legislation? Plus looking at some of the current issues including MOT’s, young driver insurance and whether modifications to vehicles can nullify insurance claims.
With a highly experienced and knowledgeable panel it promises to be a lively debate. For the first time this year, the audience will be able to contribute live to the debate. Regardless of where your interest lies; veteran, vintage or historic, it promises to be a thought provoking and informative occasion.
Tickets cost £15.00 Places are limited and are on a first issued basis.
Price includes refreshments on arrival and buffet lunch. Event is open to non-club members

About the Royal Automobile Club
The Royal Automobile Club was founded in 1897 and its distinguished history mirrors that of motoring itself. In 1907, the Club was awarded its Royal title by King Edward VII, sealing the Club’s status as Britain’s oldest and most influential motoring organisation.
The Club’s early years were focused on promoting the motor car and its place in society, which developed into motoring events such as the 1000 Mile Trial, first held in 1900. In 1905, the Club held the first Tourist Trophy, which remains the oldest continuously competed for motor sports event. The Club promoted the first pre-war and post-war Grands Prix at Brooklands in 1926 and Silverstone in 1948 respectively, whilst continuing to campaign for the rights of the motorist, including introducing the first driving licences.
Today, the Club continues to develop and support automobilism through representation on the Motor Sport Association (MSA), Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and RAC Foundation, while continuing to promote its own motoring events, such as the free-to-attend Regent Street Motor Show and the Bonhams London to Brighton Veteran Car Run held on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd November 2014.
The Royal Automobile Club also awards a series of historic trophies and medals celebrating motoring achievements. These include the Segrave Trophy, the Tourist Trophy, the Simms Medal, the Dewar Trophy and the Torrens Trophy.
