Words: Elliott Hughes | Photography: IHMA

The International Historic Motoring Awards (IHMA) has revealed its shortlist for 2024. Sixteen prestigious prizes are up for grabs, and the winners will be revealed at a ceremony and gala dinner at the Peninsula London hotel on November 22, 2024.

Launched in 2011, the International Historic Motoring Awards is now back in the ownership of its original founders, Geoff Love and David Lillywhite of Hothouse Media – the publishing house of Magneto and Octane magazines. 

Revamped for 2024, the IHMA has received hundreds of nominations for 2024 from motoring experts, enthusiasts and personalities from around the globe. 

The award categories encompass everything from exceptional restorations and world-class events to outstanding individual achievements.

Magneto readers will help decide the Car of the Year, one of the night’s most coveted awards, through public voting.

Around 400 guests will attend the glittering awards ceremony on November 22, and tickets for the event – which includes dinner and drinks – cost from £280 for a single admission and £2600 for a table of ten.

Tickets can also be booked at the official website, where there is information on all the awards, the judges and much more. 

Award categories can be found below:
