During the event, the visitors had an opportunity to vote for their favorite Alfa Romeo in the People's Choice Awards. The winner was a 1963 Alfa Romeo Giulia of which only 400 of this model were built between 1963 and 1964. The owner, Paul Jarrod was presented with a special edition Beaulieu Trophy.

The Autolusso Award for Best in Show, sponsored by the Alfa Romeo specialist garage in Bournemouth(UK), went to Charles Lumby and his 1974 Montreal. The Montreal was first introduced as a concept car at Expo 67 in Montreal, Canada and proved so popular that it was put into production. Today, it is viewed as a seriously desirable classic car. Charles has owned his Montreal for 22 years and takes it out regularly to Alfa events around the country.

Simply Alfa Romeo will return in 2014.
