[FONT=Comic Sans MS, Sans-Serif]The excellent Bristol Auto Moto Festival is taking place on 28th April 2012.[/FONT]
It would be good to hear from any other Fiat barchetta owners planning to attend this event!
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, Sans-Serif][/FONT]
[FONT=Comic Sans MS, Sans-Serif]For this 10th BIAMF we will also be celebrating some other anniversaries: It is also 10 years since the Alfa Romeo 156GTA arrived in Britain, the Lancia Beta makes 40, the Alfa Romeo Giulia hits 50 and Bertone reaches a magnificent 100. The Maserati Khamsin was styled by Bertone and will also be 40, so we hope to see one or two of these very rare cars. Our featured two-wheeler will be MV Agusta, but[/FONT] there will -of course!- be the usual wide selection of other two- and four- wheeled Italian transport. The event will again take place on the closed streets of the historic Old City area of Bristol, so please join us with an exhibit or as a spectator - details of how to do so can be at www.biamf.co.uk

Spectator Information: The show runs from 10.30am to around 4.00pm and spectator access on foot is free. It takes place on and around Corn Street in the historic Old City area of Bristol, beside the fascinating St Nicholas covered market. There is plenty to see and do for those less enthusiastic about Italian vehicles and the modern shopping areas are also not far away. Various car parks are within walking distance of the site and buses also stop in the surrounding area, the bus station itself being not too distant. Temple Meads train station is also within walking distance, but various bus routes run from there to the Centre and there are also three Park & Ride services from points around the City. The show streets and the Market have many eating and drinking places. We can recommend Giuseppe’s Italian Restaurant, on the steps between St Nicholas Street and Baldwin Street, just opposite St Nicholas Market/Exchange Avenue; to reserve your table call 0117 926 4869. If you are venturing further afield we recommend Restaurant Valentino, 124 Stoke Lane, Westbury On Trym, BS9 3RJ, 0117 962 3222. Please mention the Festival when making your reservations. Public toilets are located in the side access to the covered market.
