Auto Italia Concours @ Stanford Hall, Leicestershire: Sunday 1st June 2008
Widely known as the premier UK concours for top-quality Italian automobiles, this spectacular event will again be held in the grounds of Stanford Hall. As well as the Auto Italia Concours for rare and interesting Italian exotica, the Maserati Club and the Alfa Romeo Owner’s Club will hold their annual Concours, while the Ferrari Owners’ Club will be out in force. Typically, visitors can expect to see upwards of 100 Maseratis and 180 Ferraris gathered on the lawns of this the gracious Leicestershire stately home.
But it’s not just Ferrari and Maserati: Italian car club displays will feature the very best of Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Fiat, and special coach built models. Visitors arriving in an Italian car will be invited to join the general display area. There will also be an Italian trade village and a concession on entrance to the elegant stately home.
Happy Man and I have already started planning runs to the event from our own regions so who else will be likely to meet when we get there?  |

Since there's no NAD this year, Auto Italia should be the biggest event of the summer.

I'm quite bewildered by the general lack of interest in this event. |

Probably because it's in international events.... we need a National events section.
There should be a ton of people doing this one!

Well you're the man to sort it out! 
I asked for a national events section when I was trying to organise a meet at the same event last year and my request fell on deaf ears.  |

Looking forward to seeing it for myself for the first time although on the wrong side of the fence. The Lea-Francis Owners' Club is also there, as always in June, we'll be behind the coach house so if you get time please come across and say hello.
Welcome to the Lea-Francis Owners' Club website

There's still not much interest in this event considering it's size and central location. |

It might be worth putting up a thread in each regional lounge as I bet a lot of people don' | |
