The Veteran Car Club of Great Britain is a vintage motor racing club in England.[3] The club was formed in 1930 for "Veteran" automobiles (those made before 1905) and Edwardian automobiles (those made between 1905 and 1917). [2] The club was the subject of a book, entitled Veterans of the Road: The History of Veteran Cars and the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain in 1955.[4]
