CAR OF THE YEAR 2022

Over the coming months we’ll be at the biggest and best American car events all over the UK picking more heat winners for the grand final on the Classic American stand at the NEC this autumn. Heat winners get a prestigious brass trophy, £200 prize money and are invited to bring their car down to display on the Classic American stand at the Classic Motor Show held at Birmingham’s NEC over the weekend of November 11-13. Over the weekend the cars are judged, usually by independent judges, and one overall champion is picked, winning a cheque for £500 and a prestigious trophy, plus their car will feature on the front cover of February’s issue.

Further heats will be held at the following shows:

■ June 19: Beaulieu Hot Rod and Custom, Beaulieu, Hants
