Sotheby’s London to Brighton Veteran Car Run – 5 Nov 2023

In the past MSCC members watched this event from The Jolly Tanners at Staplefield. However, this pub has changed hands and will be closed for redevelopment until the new year.

SexMog have found us a new venue for the event: The Jack and Jill Inn at Clayton BN6 9PD. This at the bottom of the notorious (to veterans) Clayton Hill. Many veterans stop at the pub to prepare themselves and the car for the climb. Details of the pub are at http://www.thejackandjillinn.co.uk

For those of us who are interested in railways, the pub is adjacent to the beautiful but notorious Clayton Tunnel.

The pub will open at 10:30 am for bacon rolls, coffee, tea and toilets. They do an excellent lunch but it is essential to book in. Phone 01273 843595 and say you’re with the Morgan Club. Our preferred time for lunch is 1pm and they will try to seat us all together in their annexe.

Veteran cars leave Hyde Park at 7 am (oldest first) and should be passing Clayton from 9 am onwards. I anticipate you will need to be at the pub early in order to get a parking space. We are not the only car club attending.

There is no need to tell me or SexMog that you’re coming.
