Practical Classics - Restorer of the Year

Practical Classics - Restorer of the Year

In 2025, Bob Meldrum won Restorer of the Year for his stunning Vauxhall Viva HB Estate revival and modification, earning the "Golden Theo" award! Nominated by Practical Classics readers, he triumphed over a variety of impressive finalists. 

Bob demonstrated incredible bodywork expertise, and innovatively integrated a Lotus engine. This transformed the car into a period-perfect, high-performance shooting brake – a vision Vauxhall themselves could have created. 

PC Staff Car Sagas

Every month the Practical Classics team let you into their garages to share in the trials and tribulations of classic car ownership with their ‘Staff Car Sagas’. Now you can see these vehicles up close in the Practical Classics World.
