The largest-ever gathering of European Car of the Year winners in the UK has been unveiled as the centrepiece of the Warren Classic Car Show’s spring celebration of the famous award, taking place on 10 May at The Warren Golf & Country Club in Essex.
The first European Car of the Year gong was bestowed on the Rover 2000 in 1964, with 49 winners – some of them seeming unlikely – following thereafter. The club is aiming to gather examples of all 50 winners for the first display of its type in the UK, and has issued a call for anyone with a suitable car to get in touch.
Organiser Nic Waller said: “We already have some interest from owners in the UK and we are sure that there are great examples of all 50 past winners somewhere in the country. We would love these owners to get involved with our quest to get all 50 cars in one place for a fantastic celebration. Many of the more recent winners are cars that you see most days but to find good examples of them all is a challenge, yet one that we are looking forward to meeting!”
