Under Steering Committee chair Peter Read, the team consists of fellow committee members along with guest judges with expertise in certain classes.

Between them, they’ll select the class winners and an overall champion. Experts include historic race organisers Vanessa and Flavien Marçais, restorer Simon Thornley and motoring writer Sarah Bradley, working with guest judges such as TV’s Amanda Stretton and Gooding & Co auctioneer Charlie Ross.

The panel will assess each car for its history, condition and originality. Class winners will receive their own trophy at the prize-giving ceremony, while the overall winner will take home the London Concours trophy and a magnum of Veuve Clicquot.
