One of the biggest events of the year at Brooklands celebrating the UK’s obsession with all things Italian. This will be Auto Italia’s 29th Spring gathering - the UK’s first and finest all-Italian car event. Expect the site to be bursting with all types of Italian cars (and motorbikes). Test Hill demonstration will be taking place, in addition to action on the Mercedes-Benz World circuit. In previous years there have been over 200 Ferraris alone! This year there will be just as much to see and do, including many trade and club stands so come early, bring your camera and plan the whole day at Brooklands! Among the line-up of special cars being demonstrated at Brooklands for the first time is an Isotta Fraschini-engined monster known as ‘il drago ruggente’ (roaring dragon). Built on a 1924 Delage chassis, ‘il drago’ is powered by a 27-litre Isotta Fraschini V12 engine from a WW2 Caproni bomber. It is owned by Glenn Billqvist, who is bringing ‘il drago’ from Sweden especially for this event. Advanced tickets will be available online and from the Museum shop. Admission charges for this event are as follows: Adults £13 in advance, £16 on the day Seniors £12 in advance, £15 on the day Children £5.50 in advance, £6.50 on the day Family £35 in advance, £40 on the day
