What is Best of the Best?

The Lancaster Insurance Pride of Ownership has been part of the Classic Motor Show for a decade, celebrating the passion, dedication, and personal stories behind Britain’s much-loved classics. Over the years, the competition has grown from a handful of cherished cars to one of the most talked-about features of the show, with every winner holding a special place in our history.

To mark this 10-year milestone, we’re doing something truly special: bringing together a line-up of past winners, from our very first champion right through to the most recent. Each car tells its own story of hard work and heart, and together they showcase just how much this feature has evolved over the years.

This time, it isn’t about who’s new – it’s about celebrating those standout cars that have already taken the crown. Fourteen of our past winners have returned with their much-loved machines, ready to go head-to-head for the ultimate title: Best of the Best.

How it Works

  • Voting is open now – 14 previous winners are campaigning for your support.

  • Round One: Cast your votes before October 1st to help decide the Top 5 finalists.

  • Round Two: From October 8th – November 6th, the finalists go head-to-head in a final public vote.

  • The Big Reveal: At the Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show, the 5 finalists and their cars will appear on the Lancaster Insurance stand, where the winner will be crowned Best of the Best live.

And don’t worry – the original Pride of Ownership competition will still be taking place at the show as usual. Best of the Best is an extra pre-show celebration, not a replacement.

How to Vote

  • Voting happens right here on our website.

  • Each contestant will also share their own voting link – so if you’ve got a favourite, look out for their campaign!

  • Voting only takes place before the show. Once the doors open, the decision is locked in.

👉 Don’t miss your chance – voting for the final 5 closes on October 1st.
