Entries are now open for our annual concours competition, held at National Day, alongside the ‘pride of ownership’ RIWAX Trophy competition. Concours competitors will be allocated a ‘judging slot’ which should only take half an hour’ to ensure they still have time to enjoy the day. RIWAX Trophy entrants will have their cars’ exterior (including wheels) and the interior judged. The engine bay and underside of the car will not be judged. However, in addition to the general cleanliness and condition of the car the judges will also take a little time to talk to the owners and consider the provenance of the vehicle.
