If you are a car fanatic (which you must be if you're reading this) this may be worth a visit on the 28th April.
Info below.
Once again the West Country's Latin Quarter will pulsate to the sounds of pedigree exhausts as Italian vehicle enthusiasts from far and wide descend on Bristol city centre for the annual Italian Auto Moto Festival on Saturday 28th April. The event will bring some of Italy’s most desirable and charismatic cars and bikes into the heart of the Old City. The show will run from 11am to 4pm and will be centred on the Corn Street / St Stephens Street area, surrounded by some great restaurants, pubs, cafes and the Saturday market stalls. The display streets, (not far from the city's shopping centre), will be closed to traffic, creating a pedestrian friendly zone where the cars and bikes, parked ‘Italian style,’ may be safely viewed. Admission is free of charge both to entrants and spectators.
Since there will be no clash with other significant events we are expecting a bumper year. Entries are already rolling in and the entry book will fill rapidly, so please enter early to avoid disappointment. We have invited Alfa Romeo UK to display a new 8c and Black & White Garage will be bringing their newly acquired Matta jeep. Of the other Italian marques, the De Tomaso Drivers Club will be celebrating their 25th anniversary with a display of their members' cars. Seven are already booked in, including a rare Longchamps GTS wide wheeled version. Pat Lockyer has entered his very rare Stabilimenti Farina Jowet Jupiter again. A fascinating jewel of a car if ever there was one. The Fiat Dino Club intend to double their 2006 entries by bringing at least ten of their delectable Coupes and Spiders and will use the Festival as their 'Season Opener.' On the two wheel front, Ducati UK will be letting us have some particularly interesting racing machinery and the Riders Ducati Bristol dealership will have their mobile display truck with TV monitors showing bike racing DVDs. The Gilera club has pledged full support and have already received an entry from Belgium. We have already had some MV Agusta and Moto Guzzi entries and there are bound to be more so it looks like being a very interesting event for bike fans. The Bristol Mods will also be there with their colourful Lambrettas and Vespas. In addition, we have again invited the Bridgestone tyre company to bring along the F1 Ferrari and the F1 simulator, which created such intense interest last year. The Parc Ferme Valeting company will again have an extensive array of Zymol products for sale.
