For the vehicle or entrant or driver that is not from the UK and who has exhibited a real passion and enthusiasm for the Run.

Winner: Dave Shadduck who entered a 1903 Oldsmobile and 1903 Ford (Car 163 and 190)

Reason: For his determination to participate in the Run. Last year Dave’s cars did not make it to the Run because the cargo ship they were on did not unload them at Southampton. Instead the Veteran car community rallied around and found him a car so that he could still join in the Run! We are thrilled to say that Dave’s entries were on UK soil in 2019, enabling him to participate in the Run with his own vehicles this year.  

To acknowledge and celebrate a participant demonstrating the "Spirit of the Event". The Ray Tindle Cup recognises the resolute and persevering participant for whom the event is a challenging adventure.

Winner: Mike Mutters

Reason: For continued support of the Run and willingness to help. This year Mike has kindly taken an autistic boy and his mum on the Run to experience the Run first-hand.

To acknowledge and celebrate a volunteer demonstrating dedicated and exceptional support of the Run.

Winner: Bob Smith

Reason: For his time on the VCR Steering Group Committee and traveling the 380 mile round-trip to attend the meetings in Pall Mall.  Bob retired from the Steering Group Committee this year after many years of service. 

The day before the run, over 100 veteran cars were on display within the Bonhams Veteran Car Zone at the Illinois Route 66 Regent Street Motor Show 2019. The cars were judged by a panel of experts and several awards were given out at the Show. Details of the award winners can be found on the Show website:
