Other awards were given by decade, the original Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost winning the pre 1915 category and the Alfa Romeo P3 Tipo B the ’30s.
The Club Trophy was presented by the Royal Automobile Club and supported by Classic and Sports Car, went to a very original Fiat Dino Spider which will be part of the 2022 line up in 2022.

The Voisin was created for the 1934 Paris Motor Show, and whilst creating quite a stir, didn’t sell in huge numbers.
After the show two roadsters were built on shortened Aérodyne chassis which became known as C27. The fabulous art deco styling, a collaboration between being beautiful and striking at the same time Voisin and André Noël-Noël Telmont, an architect who had met Voisin during their education.
