Monterey Week is a prestigious event for car enthusiasts, and this year was no exception as the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA) proudly presented the FIVA Preservation Award at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.
Malcolm Grubb, FIVA Vice President and Chairman of the Events Commission, had the honour of presenting this esteemed award. The FIVA Preservation Award, a collaboration between FIVA and the Hagerty Drivers Foundation, is a tribute to the legacy of Dr. Fred Simeone, a renowned advocate for automotive preservation. McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty, joined Grubb during the presentation, symbolizing the shared commitment to preserving automotive history.
This year’s award went to a truly remarkable vehicle: the impeccably maintained 1963 Jaguar E-Type FHC. This iconic car is a testament to the passion and dedication that FIVA upholds in its mission to safeguard the heritage of historic vehicles.
