Winners of the Michael Sedgwick Award and the Malcolm Jeal Award 2018

THE MICHAEL SEDGWICK AWARD:

The clear winner was:

Karl Ludvigsen, for his book:

Reid Railton, Man of Speed (Published by Evro Publishing, 2018)

Railton’s life and achievements are the subject of this magisterial two-volume book, lavishly illustrated to a very high standard and with each of Railton’s activities put into the context of the time and comprehensively covered.

Member of the Judging Panel and Chairman of the Michael Sedgwick Trust, Peter Card, presented the award to Karl at the Autumn Seminar of the Society of Motoring Historians in Britain. Karl received a plaque and a cheque for £250.

The SAHB acknowledges the generous support of the Michael Sedgwick Memorial Trust in making this award.

THE MALCOLM JEAL AWARD:

The clear winners were:

Tom Clarke and Will Morrison for their article Monte Carlo and Bust in the March 2018 issue of The Automobile magazine.

This fascinating exposition of the hitherto rarely recorded participation of Rolls-Royce motor cars in the Monte Carlo Rally was meticulously researched and eloquently written in the style that we have come to expect from Tom and Will’s work in such publications as The Roycean.

We were delighted that Malcolm’s widow, Eunice Jeal, was at our Autumn Seminar to present the award to Tom on behalf of the two authors.
