The Showcase brings together an amazing line up of award-winning cars from club-organised events during the course of the year . Throughout the show , the cars undergo intense scrutiny before the ultimate ‘ best in show ’ is revealed on Sunday in the afternoon prize giving .

Amongst the other finalists are Keith Thompson ’ s Jaguar E-Type 3.8 , Rob Owens ’ Mercedes Benz 190E , James Hunt ’ s Austin Seven Mini , and Matthew Lynch ’ s Rover 420 .

Thomson , who appeared in the 2005 final with his Renault 5 GT Turbo . A self-confessed serial Renault owner , Steve ’ s back this year with his 1987 11 Turbo . Joining the line-up is Gary Moore ’ s BMW E30 316 , Linton Connell ’ s Ferrari 250 GTE 2 + 2 , Declan Burke ’ s 1968 Volvo Amazon 123GT , and Laura Godtschalk ’ s 1992 VW MK1 Golf Cabriolet .
Donald Harvey is more of a racer than a ‘ car show guy ’ so he was surprised to win the Best in Show at Volksworld with his 1962 VW Beetle . Having owned the car for four years , it has had a full body off , nut and bolt restoration in a style that was popular in the late 80s / early 90s with a modern twist .
The 14 cars selected will go through a meticulous judging process before the winner being crowned .
