Drive It Day is on Sunday, 25th April. It is the day when the Federation of Historic British Vehicle Clubs(FHBVC) encourages owners of historic vehicles to use them on the road so that everyone can see the extent of the hobby.

If members would like to participate in one of the many FBHVC's organised events, information can be found at www.fbhvc.co.uk where there is a page dedicated to this day's events
