During 1966 the West Riding of Yorkshire branch of the Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club was formed in Wakefield, England
The Hull branch of the Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club was formed during the winter of 1966/67, with two of the original three founder members still playing an active role.
The two branches of the Y.T.C.C were originally funded as one club but, in the 1970’s, problems arose with funding and the two branches split. Through financial necessity the Hull branch became self funding.
On Sunday 14th November 1999 at the Annual General Meeting of the Hull branch of the Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club, the club changed its name to the East Yorkshire Thoroughbred Car Club.
Since 1949 the Veteran Car Club of Great Britain had organised the Hull to Scarborough Road Run.
In 1972, due to dwindling participation from pre 1918 vehicles, the VCCGB ceased involvement in this run.
In 1973 the Hull branch of the Y.T.C.C took over the organisation of this traditional run, which, during the 1970’s and 80’s, had become a spectacular event, attracting large crowds of spectators.
The Austin dealership, Cornelius Parish Ltd., in Hull, took up the challenge of staging this event and in so doing became the financial sponsor of the Hull Branch of the Y.T.C.C, permitting the run to start from their premises on Anlaby Road, Hull.
The Cornelius Parish Ltd. dealership was taken over by the T.C.Harrison Group. They and their eventual successor, Welpton Ltd., continued the sponsorship of this event until 1993.
This was the last year of the Hull to Scarborough run which was discontinued due to the lack of co-operation by Scarborough Borough Council, who withdrew their support to use the traditional site in Scarborough.
For the next three years a run was organised from Hull to Duncombe Park. This became known as the Wolds Run. During 1998 the Wolds Run changed again and from then to 2004 was run from Hull to Thornton le Dale.
Welpton Ltd. ceased trading in 2005 and due to parking difficulties at the Thornton le Dale venue the traditional run did not take place.
In 2008 the Wolds Run is to be reinstated. Now starting from the Humber Bridge Car Park and following a similar route to Thornton le Dale.
The traditional East Coast Run, which had for 17 years been run by the Humberside Transport Group, was in danger of disappearing from the Historic Vehicle events scene due to the group having too few members to stage it. The EYTCC was approached, in 2005, by the remaining organisers with a view to the EYTCC taking over the running of the event. Not w ishing to see such a long standing tradition to die the Club agreed to take on the challenge.
2008 sees the 40th anniversary of this event.
The club has flourished under the recent and present committees, who organise numerous events throughout the season which are supported by over 450 fully paid up members.
Listed in these pages are just some of the dates and events with which the club is involved this year
