Please note that while the published description states that this vehicle is eligible for the London-to-Brighton Run, the Veteran Car Club has the authority to make the final determination as to any car’s year of construction, and thereby its eligibility to participate in the event. With no known documented proof that any Pope-Hartford Model Bs were built after the beginning of 1905, this example is believed to be a 1904 model. Please contact a Specialist for more information regarding this Lot.
