Supercars & Subarus?

That isn't a combo I would have put together

A very odd combo

'tis a rather strange combo........

And I notice that they are restricting minis to 'classic' minis rather than BMW MINIs (ie pre 2000)
and
a restriction to aircooled Porsches on 5 July, watercooled Porsches are presumably classified as supercars?
and
a similar restriction (pre 2000) on French and (presumably) Italian cars......

Although if this were the intention, personally I would have phrased the theme as 'Pre-2000, Italian & French Cars', rather than 'Italian and French Pre-2000'.
Why the restriction? I think in previous years Abarth Clubs have turned up en masse. For the tourists that the event is aimed at, rows and rows of identikit cars doesn't make for a great show, I suppose.

But still, there is room for a little grammatical ambiguity in the 'theme'..... if, on 12 July, you turned up in your 2004 Ferrari Enzo I doubt you would be denied entry
