The shortlists for the 2024 International Historic Motoring Awards presented by Lockton Insurance have been revealed. The contenders for the 14 awards have been whittled down from a record number of nominations and will now go before an expert panel of judges to decide the winners.
The judges include the likes of Octane columnists Jay Leno and Derek Bell, as well as a host of other notables such as Peter Stevens, and their final selections will be revealed at a fabulous ceremony hosted by Amanda Stretton at The Peninsula London on 22 November. Visit historicmotoringawards.co.uk for more information, or to book your place at the awards night, with single seats costing £280 each and a table of ten £2600.
Of course, as well as all the categories below, there are two more coveted trophies up for grabs, the Lifetime Achievement Award and the Car of the Year. As in previous years, Car of the Year will be decided by a public vote. See the contenders, and vote for Car of the Year here
