Top 5: Pride of Ownership cars at the NEC Classic Motor Show
The first five entries to be confirmed in the Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership display have been revealed. Held as part of the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show at Birmingham’s NEC from Friday 11th to Sunday 13th November, the overall winner will be decided by visitors to the season finale.
Richard Morley, Operations Director at Lancaster Insurance, said, 'We’re proud to be supporting an area which champions people showcasing their pride and joy and the story behind it. These five are indicative of the quality of the entries we’ve received and we’ve got some tough decisions ahead, but I have no doubt that it will be an outstanding display.'
The display will see 15-20 classics included so there is still time to enter your pride and joy into the competition. To enter, just email your contact details along with the year, make and model of your vehicle, a brief history of the car, and two images to andrea@poppyseedmedia.co.uk. Entries close on 30 September.
1935 Auburn Speedster
The fourth vehicle to be added to the line-up is a spectacular 1935 Auburn Speedster, one of just 143 produced, belonging to Roger Learmonth from East Sussex. This model spent most of its years in the Philippines before being shipped to the UK for restoration in 1986. A brief stint in the USA was part of its history before returning to Britain for a second resto in 2011. With 17,000 miles on the clock, Roger has made contact with all seven owners to retain the vehicle’s provenance.
