Eight stunning “Best of Show” winners from top concours around the world have been revealed as nominees for the coveted “The Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award.” The cars in contention for the 2018 award will now be carefully reviewed by 26 respected judges, all of whom are leaders in their fields of expertise.<\/p>\n

The award, now in its fourth year, brings together the finest classic cars in the world to compete for the title of most exceptional car. \u201cMy fellow co-founders and I created this award because of our shared passion for motorcars; a passion which I believe lives in many of us from a young age,\u201d said The Hon. Sir Michael Kadoorie, Chairman of The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited. \u201cThis shared interest is what makes the award so special \u2013 it has the ability not only to unite friends through common interests, but also remind us of that first spark of excitement at the wonder of motorcars.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nominated vehicles are as follows:<\/p>\n
