The ASMW Presents the 2007 Scottish Car of the Year Awards

The Association of Scottish Motoring Writers held their annual Scottish Car of the Year Awards on Friday, October 26, at the Fairmont Hotel, St Andrews.

Founded 1961, The Association of Scottish Motoring Writers is the nation’s leading voice on motoring matters with 17 members covering broadcast, print and internet media.

Winning the overall award of Scottish Car of the Year was the Ford Mondeo.

At the awards, Stephen Park, President of the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers, said: “We have witnessed and driven some brilliant new cars during the past 12 months making our task of deciding category winners all the harder.

“There are some exceptional new vehicles around and it is heartening to see that the UK automotive industry is in such a strong position. Like a great number of industries it has been under enormous pressure to deliver on all fronts and it has responded magnificently to that challenge.

“None more so than Ford Motor Company who have come up with a fantastic new third-generation Mondeo.

“It was never going to be an easy task replacing a car that was so popular but Ford has achieved the impossible in creating an exciting new model that ticks all the right boxes in terms of choice, driving dynamics, packaging, safety and, above all, value for money.”
