The Carmen Car Club invites you to take to the wheel of your Vintage or Classic Car for THE PORTSMOUTH DRIVE on Saturday 28 May 2022. There are two categories – Vintage Cars Pre 1939 and Classic Cars.
This event is not a race but a wonderful opportunity for Vintage and Classic Car owners to enjoy a carefully selected, picturesque route through delightful Surrey and Hampshire countryside.
The journey that awaits you will begin at 09.30 with refreshments in the historic Motor House of the distinguished Royal Automobile Club in Epsom. After a rousing send-off, the route will take you through leafy lanes and villages, along unspoilt roads and past historic landmarks until the stunning Solent comes into view at Portsmouth’s glorious promenade.
Your journey will end with a warm welcome at Ye Spotted Dogge in Buckingham House. This ancient Portsmouth tavern dates back to 1523, although some of the timbers are circa 1450. Parking for your treasured car will be available nearby so that you can relax with all the participants of the Portsmouth Drive over an extensive buffet lunch inside Ye Spotted Dogge or if the weather is fine, in their garden in the heart of Old Portsmouth.
After lunch you can take a short walk to the Spinnaker Tower in Gunwharf Quays from where you can see the Solent for miles and enjoy the Outlet shopping.
The cost to participate is £150 per car for up to 2 people to include:-
Tea, coffee and biscuits at the start at the Motor House of the Royal Automobile Club
Buffet lunch at the finish at Ye Spotted Dogge in Buckingham House. (drinks at own cost)
Extra passengers (above 2) will be £35 per person
