Date confirmed for Drive It Day 2015

Next year’s Drive It Day event, where nearly a quarter of a million classic car enthusiasts take to the road and enjoy their classic, will be held on Sunday, April 26.

So if you’ve got your car tucked up for winter, then make sure it’s ready for the annual event in 2015, which is organised by the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs – the organisation which helps safeguard our hobby.

Traditionally, clubs hold meetings and scenic runs, often as their season opener. We’ll be compiling a list of Drive It Day-themed events so email us if you’d like to see your event listed.

‘Drive It Day seems to gain in popularity each year,’ says national co-ordinator Ken Coad. ‘We get all types of vehicles, four, two and three wheelers, trucks, buses, tractors and even former military vehicles.

‘The variety is endless and probably the only common factor is their age. To be classed as historic, a vehicle must be 30 years old or more.’
