Oldest club uk

[MRJ315]

Just thought but who can lay clame to be the oldest hotrod or custom club in the uk as all this must have started somewhere ....

Oldest still going or first ? First may well be The Highwaymen, back in the late 50's early 60's I believe.
Longest still going probably Chelmsford Drag and Hot Rod club, formed slightly earlier than Surrey Street Rodders ,and around the same time as the Southern Roadsters .

[BRIT DIGGER]

is it the NSRA?.
