The Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs’ “Drive It Day®” takes place every year to help raise awareness of the large and important extent of the classic vehicle movement in the UK. It is also an ideal opportunity to raise funds for both local and industry related charities.
The Federation is a grouping of more than 450 clubs and museums, together with some 1,500 trade and individual supporters. Their aim is to uphold the freedom to use old vehicles on the roads without any undue restriction and to support its member organisations.
Hagerty International is pleased to support the Federation and this event, and will once again be hosting its own “Drive it Day” celebration. The aim of the day is for everyone to have fun and enjoy the cars, the drive and the company of like-minded enthusiasts.

Each entrant will receive a tulip-style road book detailing places of interest throughout the duration of the route, including Sywell Aerodrome, Althorp House and Castle Ashby before the cross-country route ends at Silverstone Circuit.
