We look back on a year of huge restorative endeavours, from vintage sports cars to modern-classic technology.
Every month, Classic Cars celebrates the skills that keep the old-car world alive. Epic Restoration sees complete wrecks brought back from oblivion, iconic cars brought up to a level of perfection not even their manufacturers envisaged, and motorsport and car-industry heritage saved. But the stars of this regular feature series are not really the cars, but the craftspeople who build them. It’s in their
wide range of skills, artistic abilities, technical precision and mastery of often-ancient and forgotten techniques that the real key to these cars’ salvation lies.

Now, in Epic Restoration of the Year, we’re giving you the chance to nominate your favourite renovation
project featured in the last 12 months. And together with Machine Mart, the chance to win the kind of quality tools to enable you to undertake an epic restoration of your own – or just get round to that job you keep putting of!
