Årets Bil i Europa

Årets Bil i Europa er en kåring etableret i 1964 af en gruppe europæiske biltidsskrifter. Juryen består af motorjournalister fra hele Europa, og antal repræsentanter fra hvert enkelt land afgøres på baggrund af størrelsen af landets bilmarked eller bilproduktion. Juryen bestod i 2006 af 58 medlemmer fra 22 lande.
Det er ingen kategorier eller klasser, og kåringens formål er at finde det bedste blandt alle deltagende bilmodeller.
Regler
Alle bilmodeller lanceret i de tolv måneder før prisen uddeles kan deltage. Deltagende modeller skal ikke være europæiske, men de skal være tilgængelige for salg i mindst fem europæiske lande, samt have et salgsmål på mindst 5.000 enheder årligt.
De nominerede modeller får point i kategorierne design, komfort, sikkerhed, økonomi, køreegenskaber, ydelse, miljø, førermiljø og pris.
Syv finalister vælges ved afstemning. Derefter får hvert enkelt jurymedlem 25 point til at distribuere mellem finalisterne. Pointene skal fordeles over mindst fem bilmodeller, og én model kan få maksimalt ti point. Stemmeafgivningen er åben, og hvert jurymedlem må forsvare sin pointfordeling.

Delighted to see this really lovely mint example coming down the road. I was actually walking the same direction- it was lucky I looked behind me and had my camera to hand! This is actually the first Mk3 Escort hatchback I've seen in a few years, but I've seen three estates! Once seen on every street, these have really thinned out. In 1994, there were almost half a million L spec Escorts on the roads- the number has dwindled to 1,224 (but that includes all years) This is one of 24 on the roads from 1983. This example looked really very original and tidy. Nice to see a younger driver too.

It was great to see this 127 again, looking somewhat different from the last time I saw it. It seems to have had some paintwork done as the colour is a different shade of green than I remember it being. Or perhaps it's the light!

I think this is the only 128 I've seen since I sold mine 2 years ago, and it is a significantly nicer vehicle. I notice this one is a 1300 (mine was an 1100); I think the wheels are Cromodoras?

Rover 2000 TC. An early one looking roughly as they looked in 1967 aside from the way the polished paintwork highlights the imperfections in the hammered out dents in this unsympathetic bright but cloudy light. Pity.
