More than 130 cars have been admired on London's Pall Mall as St James's Motoring Spectacle returned to the capital.
Organised by the Royal Automobile Club with the permission of Westminster City Council, the event is seen as the curtain-raiser to the following day's London to Brighton Car Run.
The St James's Spectacle showcased vehicles from the birth of motoring to the most recent hypercars.
About 75 pre-1905 vehicles took part – and they, with hundreds of others, will join Sunday's run to Brighton.
Pedal power was also celebrated, with a collection spanning veteran bicycles and early motorcycles through to modern electric bikes.
The RM Sotheby's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run takes place on Sunday 2 November.
