Who will win the Meguiar’ s Club Showcase?
This event shines a spotlight on the finest classic cars from the motoring club scene, with 14 finalists facing close inspection from a panel of expert judges as they vie for the coveted crystal trophy.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the Showcase takes centre stage in Hall 1, where the judges don their white gloves, pick up their clipboards, and carefully assess each car with meticulous attention to detail.
Unlike a traditional concours event, participants are encouraged to enjoy their cars and many arrive at the venue behind the wheel, giving their vehicles a thorough polish before the judging begins. Being invited to the Showcase represents a significant achievement, testament to the high calibre of competition.
The much-anticipated announcement will see Wheeler Dealers’ Mike Brewer award the crystal trophy to the deserving winner, live on the Hall 1 stand at 12:00 on Sunday.
