Simon Hucknall Awarded Classic Car Writer Of The Year At Newspress Awards 2024
Simon Hucknall has been honoured with the Classic Car Writer of the Year award at the Newspress Awards 2024. Hucknall, a former Vauxhall PR, has firmly established himself in the classic car community, contributing to various respected publications. This category is known for its competitive nature, and this year was no exception.
Among the notable entries were Karl Ludvigsen, Jesse Billington, Charlotte Vowden, and Trinity Francis. However, Hucknall's work stood out to the judges. They sought a writer who embodies a passion for classic cars and demonstrates variety, humour, and elegance in their writing.

Hucknall's submissions were praised for their warmth, authority, and engaging style. His feature "Brighton Belles," published in Classic & Sports Car in November 2023, was particularly highlighted. This article coincided with the 70th anniversary of the film "Genevieve" and was noted for its heartfelt and descriptive nature.
The panel commented: "Simon’s article stood out mainly for its warmth: it was from the heart, personal, descriptive, and engaging."
