HMS Nelson’s Wardroom (Officers’ Mess), Portsmouth was the venue for this year’s Automotive Achievement Award and Tom Pryce Memorial Trophy conferred by Welsh Motoring Writers.
Presented on behalf of WMW by group patron and former award-winner Richard Woolley (director of advanced design, Land Rover) the Automotive Achievement Award recognises the outstanding contribution to motor car design made by Ian Cameron who retired from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars earlier this year.
Ian Cameron said: “At first I could not imagine what had possessed someone to put me up for this touching award – I did wonder whether Candid Camera was back! In truth, however, I am delighted to accept it in the name of the Rolls-Royce design team. They, after all, are the ones who did the work. As with an orchestra, some designers think it is the chap at the front who deserves the accolades. But it is the team that makes the music and delivers the product so I am indeed delighted to accept this award in their name”.
