2023 Public Vote

2023 Car of the Year

Every year historic cars come into the public eye for all sorts of reasons. They might feature in a hugely successful film, or have played a role in a major public event. They might have been used to raise significant sums for charity, or have achieved some other form of national or international recognition. They might have emerged from decades in hiding, bringing their fascinating and unique histories into the spotlight with them. All of these are great reasons why a car could be a contender for the Historic Motoring Awards 2023 Car of the Year, and we want your suggestions for cars that should be considered for the ultimate accolade.
