General Fiat Shows

[The Whitakers]

After being an avid VW nut for many years and attending many shows I wondered if there was a 'scene' for Fiats? Weekend shows with entertainment and stalls to buy new and used parts etc.........I was going to research it but prefer to call on the 'forum google' as it is far more interactive and interesting......

To the best of my knowledge, we have no equivalent to an Italian "Raduno" in this country. In Italy they have "Cinquecento specific" Radunos (I am going to one at Misano in September)--normally just a 'one-day' event in a town square.
Some of these one-day events have up to 200 500s, of all varieties, attending. There are so many in Italy that you would probably be able to, by contacting the "Fiat 500 club of Italy", tie in a holiday in Italy with a visit to a Raduno.
However, I have been led to believe that the days when there were stall after stall selling Fiat/Abarth/Giannini parts are gone. It would seem that Fiat has 'got the hump' and is clamping down (HARD) on suppliers of 'pattern' parts--not only for Fiat but also for Alfa-Romeo and Lancia

That's a shame, we were looking forward to hopefully attending some and weekends away in a field with like minded Fiat lunatics and a beer

I forgot to mention----August 19th, Brands Hatch. There will an "Italian" day at Brands. Just about every sort of 'Italian' that you can think of from scooters to F1 cars (being driven round the track---lovely and noisy!). I went to it in 2017 (with my Abarth replica) and had a grand day out. There will be a goodly number of 500s, both in the general car parks (in the circuit grounds) as well as on the "Classic Abarth" stand. Look on the events web-page, you might find that if you turn up in an Italian vehicle you get a reduced entry rate. There are also Italian food stalls---luvverly grub!

The events section used to be a lot busier, but it seems almost gone are the days when people are happy to stand around a field for hours on end

AutoItalia Brooklands in May, ForzaLIVE! in July (next year, hopefully!) & MITCar in August are probably the closest to that you'll get these days. Fiat Motor Club GB tend to focus more on the 'classics' so they may have more of what you're looking for, but membership comes at a price.
