WHAT NOW?

Now your top 30 have been announced, it is now time to get voting for your top 10.

Once your top 10 finalists have been announced, Footman James and Practical Classics magazine will then embark on another Britain’ Best tour across the UK visiting each finalist from June 24 – July 5, 2019. Better yet, you can be part of all the action as you can join Footman James and Practical Classics for the road-trip of the year. Just keep your eyes open on Footman James’ website and social media channels for further announcements.

Danny Hopkins, Practical Classics magazine editor,commented, ‘This really will be the biggest pop-up classic car show ever, likely to take us to every corner of the country! You’ve told us why you love your local clubs. Now it’s time to make sure you’re in the top 10 and on our route around Britain’.

That’s not all, Footman James’ very own VW T25, also known as Digit, will also be joining the fun and hitting the road offering freebies and goodies to classic car owners who join them on route.

David Bond, Director at Footman James added, ‘It’s always a surprise to see where our Britain’s Best campaigns take us. For the past couple of years, we have visited the length and breadth of the UK, from the Kelpies in Scotland for Britain’s Best Classic Destination, all the way to the Railway Carriage Café in Lopenhead for our Britain’s Best Classic Café tour... it really is an adventure. We now can’t wait to see who will be crowned Britain’s Best Classic Car Club 2019 and where the tour will take us this year.’
