The vehicle has been a long-time crowd favourite, winning the award for the third time in four years.
It was a close call, with only a vote and a half in front of Peter Dunn's Morris Cooper S.
Newcomer Silvia Grant, who has only been with the club for a year, took out the entrants' award for her Leyland Mini - an unrestored, original car.
The awards were announced at a presentation dinner following the Show and Shine on Saturday night.
