Yup, (did you read the names on the clearly visible VCC Plates??? :wink: )

Top red one is a 1902 variant, owned by Imperial College London since 1934 and driven by the students. The bonnet on the car (which I guess is why people were thinking Renault?) was an aftermarket modification! (Brussells would have a fit :lol: ) and was installed in the 1920s to cover the engine, but doesn't do the cooling any good.

The Blue one is a registered as a 1904 by the VCC (but was actually built 1905/1906 and fitted with a 1901 engine from new), and was owned by the chief engineer of James & Browne family since the mid 30's. It was sold at Bonhams for just over £110,000 in 2009. They are the only known surviving James & Browne cars.

Just the top one to go

No Matt but I did look at London/Brighton rally photos, must confess, never heard of James & Browne before.

And the truck looks like it could be a relative of our Minors.

I'm guessing 1936 Buick, and it's either an ambulance or ex-hearse
