THE DISTINGUISHED GENTLEMAN'S DRIVE
The Distinguished Gentlemans Drive is a celebration of classic style. Founded in 2021, this next drive will be taking place on Sunday 29th September 2024. It is an on-road motoring event, uniting pre-'80s classic cars, designed to encourage enthusiasts and vintage car owners around the world to dress dapper and drive for men’s health. Funds raised by our Distinguished Gentlefolk support our charity partner, Movember. These funds are invested in vital research and programs for prostate cancer and men's mental health to support the wellbeing of men all around the world. The Distinguished Gentlemans Drive is a themed event, where drivers and their passengers dress dapper to complement the elegant design of their vehicles.
