Nominations open for the National Land Rover Awards 2020

Nominations are now open for the National Land Rover Awards 2020, the winners of which will be chosen at Land Rover Legends, the ultimate show for Land Rover connoisseurs, preservationists, restorers and enthusiasts, taking place at Thruxton Circuit in Hampshire, on 6th and 7th June.

 

The National Awards

The focus of Land Rover Legends is on authenticity and originality, with the event featuring carefully-curated static displays of important Land Rovers as well as the National Awards for Most Original, Best Restored and Best Bespoke Land Rover. From the inaugural event in 2018 the National Awards have always attracted a particularly strong list of contenders, and the judges always have a very tough job to determine the highly commended and overall winner in each of the three categories.

Owners who would like to nominate their cherished Land Rovers for the 2020 National Awards can do so now at www.landroverlegends.com. Shortlisted vehicles will be invited to be displayed in the main exhibition marquee at Thruxton Circuit where, on Sunday 7th June , a panel of expert judges will select the winner and highly commended entry in each category.

There will also be an award for Best Club Display at the event, the Brian Bashall Memorial Award – in memory of the founder of the Dunsfold Collection.

 

Exciting new features and activities

Land Rover Legends’ move to Thruxton Circuit for 2020 means a host of new features and activities, with the added bonus of the event sitting alongside the Thruxton Historic race meeting, also taking place that weekend.  Land Rover Legends tickets will be valid for the Thruxton Historic at no extra charge.

Land Rover Legends will take place in its own area of the historic WW2 airfield that once was RAF Thruxton, and the venue offers extensive visitor facilities, including the new Thruxton Centre, a dedicated campsite, a kart track, a skid pan – and a superb 4×4 course on site, which will be open throughout the weekend. Visitors can expect all the usual Land Rover Legends show features such as the Star Cars, National Awards, unique displays, anniversary celebrations, clubs, parades, exhibitors and traders – plus a few extra surprises thanks to the Thruxton Historic event happening on the circuit at the same time.

Advance discounted tickets are available now, giving you two shows for the price of one!  Full details can be found at www.landroverlegends.com.
