Autumn Italian Car Day at Gaydon

The annual Autumn Italian Car Day at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, will have a strong Lamborghini element on Sunday 23rd September, as the Lamborghini Club UK (LCUK) is holding its ‘Car of the Year Awards’ at the event.

LCUK is anticipating more than 40 Lamborghinis, both classic and modern, taking part in a convoy from the hotel hosting the Club’s Annual Dinner on the Saturday night, to arrive at Gaydon during the morning of Sunday, 23rd September. Three trophies will then be awarded by LCUK: for the best pre-1991 and post-1991 Lamborghini, and also for the best V8-engined model (including Urraco, Silhouette and Jalpa).

An outstanding display of Lamborghinis is just one part of the attraction, however. Enthusiasts, club members and owners of any Italian car – whether classic or modern, Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini or other lesser-known marque – are invited to join the gathering at Gaydon for a last opportunity to blow the cobwebs away before winter sets in. In addition to the extensive display of Italian cars, there will be plenty of other activities to enjoy… Visit the Heritage Trust Collection, take a ride on the demanding off-road course or enjoy family karting fun. A main attraction is the chance to drive on Aston Martin’s Motor Research Test Track. Last year Italian car owners experienced high-speed pace car runs on the superb 3.5-mile circuit.

The Heritage Motor Centre is near Junction 12 on the M40.
