Cars on the Run If you are unable to join us at an official paddock , another great way to view these cars in all their glory is while they ’ re on the move . We have listed some of our favourites on the right . This year , the veteran cars will again be allocated one of two routes out of London between Westminster and Croydon , which is designed to ease congestion and speed their exit out of the capital . This also provides even more opportunities to view the cars on the road .
