Autumn Italian Car Day 2006

The Autumn Italian Car Day on Sunday 24th September has all the ingredients for a spectacular sporty event at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon. This event offers drivers of Italian cars the chance to get out and about before the leaves start turning and winter closes in.

Autumn Italian Car Day 2006 will be a special treat for Lancia owners. The Lancia Motor Club will be holding their National Rally and AGM at the event. Drivers of Italian cars, modern or historic will be invited to add their own vehicles to the display and offered an exclusive opportunity to drive on the PAG (Premier Automotive Group) test track at Gaydon, normally reserved for Jaguar and Aston Martin performance test drivers.

You don’t have to drive an Italian car to enjoy the event, all are welcome to and there’s free parking for everyone. Other features include car of the day competition, trade displays and Italian village.

In addition, all the family can enjoy the Heritage Motor Centre experience; the superb collection of historic British cars in the museum, the thrilling 4x4 off-road course, and the outdoor go-kart track (height restrictions apply). The Centre is located just minutes from Junction 12, M40, in 65 acres of parkland with a nature path, picnic and play area and a miniature roadway for 3 to 7 year olds.

Entry is £8 for adults; £7 for senior citizens; £6 for children 5-16 years, with under 5’s free. There are lower prices for advance tickets. The PAG test track experience is £15 on the day and £12 in advance (go to heritage-motor-centre.co.uk). For more information about the Heritage Motor Centre, log on to heritage-motor-centre.co.uk.
