Viva Italia!


Auto Italia has joined forces with the Ferrari Owners Club to create a new all-Italian event at Sywell Aerodrome. Centrally located near Kettering in Northamptonshire, Sywell is home to motoring and aviation collections with art deco-style hangars and superb display areas. There will be club displays, although access is open to all Italian cars. Selected cars will take part in taxi-way demonstrations and there will be high speed runway runs for invited, special cars.


What will be there?

Entry is FREE and the prize is the Meguiar’s Trophy and Car Care Kit plus the VIP ‘Day in the Bay’ at Meguiar’s HQ to learn detailing techniques. Hosted by the experts and with lunch included. Please contact Chris Leach at the Ferrari Owner’s Club office on 01327 855430 to enter your car or email us at [email protected]

The FF Stand

EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Don't be shy!

This is a great opportunity for newbies to meet fellow Fiat owners, socialise and talk about your pride and joys (if you want ). Come along, chill out on the stand, have a nosey at other members cars and enjoy a fantastic day out!


Parking on the day

Although the event starts at 10am for the general public, we get an earlier 9am entry to allow us to get our stand sorted out.

So please try and get in as close to 9 as possible (use the left hand lane) and head over to our stand position (See map below - just behind the bikes)

I'd love to come but not sure... I'll know what's going on in my life closer to the time – but there may be parts to fit! Possibly unlikely but I've been known to be spontaneous.

Hi, I just joined the page. Do I need to be a club member to join with my car?
Or just pay for the ticket and park next to you?
Until when can I buy the pre-sale ticket?
Hi David, by signing up you're already a member and can come on the stand 😁

So yes, just buy the ticket, follow the instructions at the start of the thread and see you on the day!

Not sure when the presale ends (or if it even does) but if you're 100% coming then might as well get it now 😉
 
As a farmer it’s difficult, at the best of times, to get away. Holidays only happen wehn we can get cover, day trips tend to be as far away as we can get back within an hour, in case of creature issues…we’ve already missed several car, military vehicle and specific club meets…and now we’ve got holiday cabins, free time is even more of an issue, so it’s ‘we’ll see you if we see you’
 
They can, although they haven't given the info yet. I'll chase it up @dombooth .
Thanks, might as well buy it online right before. In the op it says it needs to be printed but I assume you can show it on the phone? Never seen a electronic ticket being paper only 😅

I copy and pasted that bit from the previous autoitalia event, so it is possible this is different 😊

Please do fill in the registration form if you are coming, all info in the first post 👍
 
I can make this one now 👍🏻, although I’m going to be on the mk 1 punto stand as it’s the 30 th anniversary, should be a good show of mk 1’s there.

Morning,

Just got here. Went in the exhibitors entrance. Not sure if this is the correct entrance as I've got a stand pass?

Anyone clarify?

JBSpinThatCoupe
We were only told one, but if you look at the map you can see where we should be.

Gavin (black coupe - V53LGU) and Simon (yellow sei - WR51AYP) should already be on site
