MORE THAN HALF A MILLION FLOCK TO REGENT STREET MOTOR SHOW

• Record 524,382 attendance at Regent Street Motor Show
• Full details of Veteran Car Concours d'Elegance winners
• TV personalities Alan Titchmarsh and Edd China join the judges
• Visitor wins four-day trip to Illinois and Route 66

With such a spectacular motoring showcase to relish, over half a million visitors to the recent Regent Street Motor Show – which, this year, was presented by Enjoy Illinois Route 66 – were winners as the capital's premier shopping destination was transformed into the country's biggest free-to-view motor show.

But while this year's record attendance of 524,382 savoured some amazing automotive displays, some of those present did actually go home with prizes.

One lucky individual – Geoff Frost from Chesham – won a four-night holiday, including flights and accommodation to Illinois. The US state was promoting itself and its famous Route 66, America's 'Mother Road', with an eye-catching display of American automotive nostalgia on Regent Street.

There were winners, too, in the annual Veteran Car Concours d'Elegance taking place in the heart of the capital on the eve of the famous Bonhams Veteran Car Run, supported by Hiscox.

This year's judging panel was comprised of some notable experts from the veteran car world and also included TV presenters Edd China and Alan Titchmarsh.

As previously announced, after much deliberation, the judges awarded the Overall Winner's trophy to the illustrious Darracq owned by Malcolm Ginns – a car that has a remarkable history.

Other award winners included the Museo dell'Automobile di Torino for its 1892 Peugeot Mk3 – the earliest car entered into this year's Veteran Car Run – and David Pain's splendid 1904 Albion Wagonette which proved most popular with the public online vote.
