What is FBHVC National Drive it Day?

First introduced in 2005, the format for Drive It Day is a tried and tested formula. The Federation sets the date each year (as close as possible to the anniversary of the 1000 Mile Trial) and publicises the event nationally.

The many clubs that comprise the Federation's membership then plan and schedule regional and local events throughout the country.

The events are as varied as the vehicles taking part and include Drive Outs and meetings at local beauty spots or historic sites.

Detail of the original event, courtesy of Graces Guide to British industrial history, can be seen here

The site also has links to "The Autocar" for the year of the event, 1900, which are here

Member clubs are encouraged to let the Federation know their plans. The easiest method is to post on the FBHVC facebook page here

2024 - 21st April
2025 - 27th April
2026 - 26th April
