Thoroughly deserved. A lovely car.

Apart from the facts that it is a wonderful car and a magnificent restoration, did they indicate what gave you the edge over those other VIP cars?

No, they did not that! But I have my thoughts…
John Staddon and Shaun were present; maybe they can answer your question.

Two celebrities. Trouble is, I can't remember the name of the guy on the right.
It was rather special yesterday to see Anton and his car called out to see the judges.
