To quote from The Automobile magazine www.oldcar-discoveries.com

BROOKLANDS BADGES:

"As Michael Worthington-Williams regular new coloum demonstrates, the opportunities for collecting automobilia are almost limitless. One area popular with collectors is car club badges, sporting awards and medals. Some of these are now highly prized and correspondingly expensive. One answer to the problem of limited availability is to compromise by collecting authentic replicas, but it seems to me there is no point in doing this if you are not discriminating about the quality.
Classic Automobilia & Regalia Specialists of Brighton, working with the Brooklands Museum, have the exclusive marketing rights for a series of Brooklands car badges newly made by the original manufacturers, Toy, Kenning and Spencer.
The set comprises the Brooklands Automobile Racing Club membership badge, BARC Committee member's badge, 120mph and 130mph speed awards, Brooklands Aero Club, Brooklands School of Flying and Brooklands Flying Club badges (bronze and silver issues). Unlike some foreign-made reproductions which use unstable plastic paints, these replicas are made in the original way, with a brass base, chromium plated and coloured with vitreous enamels for duribility.
The badges are available singly at £65 each (ordinary post free inland) or £500 for the complete set of eight, plus postage and packing".

Note: This very well respected author independantly inspected these badges while at a Beaulieu Autojumble and then wrote this review about them for The Automobile magazine.

Interested in (local) motoring facts? Interesting reading...

Brighton's Madeira Drive makes the perfect venue for displaying and performing vehicals of all kinds. Motor racing used to extend all round this purpose built (in 1905) circuit, which ran along both the top and the lower levels of the drive. Motorcars and motorbikes raced around this circuit in two's side by side at high speeds under supervision from The Brighton & Hove Motor Club. The club also founded in 1905 being the oldest motoring club in the UK, which now oversees the National Speed Trials every September and also provides marshaling for the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run every November. Since 1952 the run has been held on the first Sunday of that month.
The 'Emancipation Run' (or so called 'Red Flag Run', when a man waving a red flag had to preceed the following motor vehical befor the repeal of this act). The event dates back to 1896 when only thirty cars participated, seventeen of which actualy finished the course, the winner took two and a half hours to arrive! Medals were issued for completing the run and are awarded to this day for every finisher to arrive in Brighton befor the closing time set at 4.30pm.

This event has been organised by the Royal Automobile Club (R.A.C.) since 1930 and at the time was commonly described as "The Old Crocks Race", a description that is very much frowned upon nowadays, as the rally is not a race but a challange to get from London to Brighton (yes, in the best possible time, bar breakdowns and hazards, of which there are many). These cars are distingquised veterans and should be refered to as such!
One truly historic vehical to take part in the 2000 run, was the Bristol Industrial Museum's steam car, manufactured in 1875, which completed the run in an impressive time of nine hours! For further particulars on this years run, please go to: www.LBVCR.com

Record crowds of more than 200,000 spectators attended the anual Speed Trials on 10th September 2005 for the centenary celebrations. The fastest speed achieved by a car during that years event was 150 mph and for a motorbike 164 mph! In addition to the exhilirating drive by both cars and bikes, the following weekend saw the anual Ace Cafe Reunion with an estimated 80,000 motorcycles in attendance from all parts of the UK (and Europe). A single gathering of 60,000 ridding in enmasse!
For more information regarding The Brighton & Hove Motor Club, the website is at: www.brightonandhovemotorclub.co.uk

These are just a couple of the many major motoring events along Brighton's famous Madeira Drive where many car, commercial vehical and bike gatherings that take place mainly during the Spring and Summertime. It is a testiment of the safety and generaly agreeable environment that draws motoring clubs to this venue every season.,and long may it last!
