The era of veteran, Edwardian and early vintage cars - ie the early 20th century - is the focus of this collection of original old photographs, most of which haven't seen light of day in decades.
Motoring in the early 1900s was usually the preserve of the very "well to do" for a long time, until the introduction of rudimentary cycle cars and mass-produced models such as the Austin 7, Singer Junior and Rover 8 opened the doors to those who were simply "well off" (car ownership was never a truly cheap occupation).
In this archive collection I've grouped together a varied mix of old photographs featuring these incredible cars and in the case of the earliest images, their pioneering owners and chauffeurs. The cars themselves date from the 1900s through to the early 1920s. Many of the photographs also date to this period, others are later showing preserved examples in VCC (Veteran Car Club) enthusiasts' hands during the 1950s and early 1960s, some on the famous London to Brighton run.
Identifying some of the veteran and vintage cars presented here hasn't always been easy or possible, so I welcome your corrections and identifications in the comments section, as I am no expert in veteran cars, Edwardian-era cars and those of the early vintage years.
The cars shown are some of the earliest to feature anywhere on Old Classic Car, whether here on the OCC KZitem channel, or over on the main site which has been running since 2001.
