UCA 2021 shortlist

Countdown truly begins as shortlist is revealed

The judges have completed their mystery shopping but who made the final cut? Find out here...

The mystery shopping is complete and the final runners and riders for this year’s Used Car Awards can now be revealed! The shortlist here contains the names of those who will find out on the big night whether or not they've won one of our coveted Used Car Awards, sponsored by Black Horse.

Judges ran the rule over everyone nominated, with reviews from various websites, citations and the all-important mystery shopping itself taken into account.

The awards evening at The Brewery on Monday, November 29 will follow the venue’s Covid-19 policy, which will require guests to be double-vaccinated or able to produce a negative result from a lateral flow test taken no more than 48 hours before the event.

The full Used Car Awards Covid-19 policy can be seen here with links to how you can obtain your passes or negative test.

Awards host and judge Mike Brewer said: ‘This really has been a year like no other for the used car industry and our shortlisted dealers haven't let the side down.

‘Despite being busier than ever, the good guys have been consistently great and our mystery shoppers were seriously impressed with those who have made the cut this year.

‘I can't wait to get back together with the great and the good of the motor trade and party together once again.’

The black-tie event will see guests enjoy a cocktail on arrival, sponsored by eBay Motors Group, a three-course meal and all-inclusive beers and wine.

There will be a fun casino, also sponsored by eBay Motors Group, after the awards.

In addition, an exclusive after party will be held into the small hours, sponsored by GardX, at The Brewery.

This event is strictly limited on numbers. If you’d like to attend it, please contact Melissa Thorpe at GardX.

Car Dealer editor-in-chief James Baggott said: ‘Congratulations to everyone who made our shortlist.

‘The standard has been incredibly high, and I’m very much looking forward to revealing the winners and highly commended firms at this year’s big event.’
