1927 Programme Reprinted

1927 LONDON to BRIGHTON RUN PROGRAMME -  facsimile reprint

Only 3 copies remaining!1927B-Runprog

Until recently there was doubt that a programme had been produced for the first revival of the 1896 Emancipation Run, but then an original was found among the papers of the late S. C. H. ‘Sammy’ Davis.

Subsequently three more copies have been located in private collections but clearly these are exceedingly rare and valuable items. Using Sammy’s original, the Society of Automotive Historians in Britain (SAHB) has had 25 facsimile copies reproduced to the most exacting standards. Grey card of the same weight and colour was used for the cover and the correct grey paper for the four inner pages. The green and red printing on the cover has also been accurately reproduced. As per the original, a single staple holds the programme together.

Contents:

  •       Route Map, 
  •       Conditions of Entry,
  •       List of 51 Entrants and their Cars, brief  details of 20 of these entries,
  •       Daily Sketch advert on the back cover.

The only addition to the modern copy is printed in small lettering on the back cover, and reads: ‘Facsimile reprint 2009  Numbered 1-25  No. 01’ (etc). This reprint is a once-only exercise that will not be repeated – all profits go to SAHB funds.         £17.50 each inc UK postage.

Copies available from:

Malcolm Jeal, Acorns, 53 Oak Lane, Easterton, Devizes, Wiltshire SN10 4PD.   Please make your cheque payable to the SAHB, and do include your complete name and address.
