Best Documented Car Awards 2024

Dear friends of The Motor Chain,

In the blink of an eye and a few gas tanks, we have already reached the halfway point of 2024. It has been a highly satisfying season so far. We can feel how the community recognizes our brand and the team’s efforts to promote the importance of preserving the history and documentation of our cars. I especially enjoy attending events, recognizing cars registered with TMC, shaking hands with their owners, showing our gratitude, and listening to their feedback on-site. This is happening more frequently and at higher-profile events like Villa d’Este. We are indeed on the right track.

In early June, we attended Swiss Classic World, sharing a fantastic spot with our partners Garage Space and WHS-Walter Historische Sportwagen. It was three full days of meeting new clients, professional partners, and answering many questions about cars’ history and documentation. I particularly loved visiting our certified garages and professionals’ stands; they did a great job! Jaguar Classic, Zwischengas, British Classic Cars—congratulations!

Currently, the team is focused on preparations for the Zurich Classic Car Award (ZCCA) and the ACS Concours d'Excellence International Luzern. Our jury is ready to present the Best Documented Car in Show Award at both events. Who will be the winners this year? We cannot wait to judge the more than 100 cars already subscribed. Is it a hard job? Yes, but working with our jury members is always fun and smooth. Want to know more about this Award and our Jury? Check it out here.

Most important! On August 10th, we will warm up for the ZCCA with a brunch at the Garage. Drop us a line at [email protected] if you want to attend.

We are open for business this beautiful summer in Zurich. Feel free to visit the Car History Garage for a beer or coffee; we are located at Eisengasse 9, 8008. We love spontaneous visits, especially if you come with a nice ride! Parking is always available.

See you all soon on the road!

Kindest regards, Julio and the TMC team

Zurich Classic Car Award. August 14th. Best Documented Car Award.

Our participation in the ZCCA has become a tradition for the TMC team and jury. This year marks our fourth anniversary of giving away this special award. We have had the privilege to inspect and rate very special cars. Our methodology has improved with interactions with owners and input from new jury members. This year, we will use the latest version of our scorecard, which will take into account the difficulty of documentation according to the car's age.

We expect around 100 cars at Bürkliplatz. These are the classes:

  • Prewar & Postwar - 1960
  • 1960-69 & 1970-79
  • Youngtimer until 2005
  • Best of Show
  • Best Unrestored Car
  • Best Documented Car
  • Public’s Favorite
  • 110 Jahre Maserati
  • 70 Jahre Mercedes SL-Baureihe

ACS Concours d'Excellence International Luzern.?September 13th & 14th. Best Documented Car Award.

We love this event because it goes beyond the traditional static exposition of cars. Instead, during the two days, participants can enjoy Lucerne city and its surroundings. The very first edition of this event dates back to 1928, when, in addition to racing events and the International Geneva Motor Show, there were also so-called "automobile beauty contests" in Switzerland. The "regional open-air automobile show" featured vehicles in motion, nicely dressed up and charmingly presented to the jury. The first Lucerne "automobile beauty contest" took place in 1928 and was held until 1955. The highlight of the events was the presentation of the automobiles on the Nationalquai in Lucerne.

The Concours d'Excellence International was revived in 2016 by Urs P. Ramseier and Bernd E. Link, who were on the organizing committee. It then took place on the Nationalquai in Lucerne in 2017 and 2018 before the location was moved to the Museum of Transport.

Inscriptions are now open! Click on the logo below.
