Italian car enthusiasts can unite and celebrate at one of the biggest events of the year at Brooklands Museum.

The annual event held in Weybridge is a chance to enjoy all things Italian.

This year will celebrate Auto Italia’s 26th spring gathering which boasts the UK’s first all-Italian car event.

A variety of classic Italian cars and motorbikes will be on show.

The celebration will parade thousands of fine Italian cars of all types, including both classic and modern models.

All of the vehicles will be on display around the Brooklands grounds for visitors to observe.

Other attractions on the day included drivers experiencing the Mercedes-Benz World circuit and Test Hill, and the opportunity to view a substantial collection of motor exhibits at Brooklands Museum.

It is not essential to own an Italian vehicle to attend.

Spokesman Peter Stewart says: “In previous years there have been over 200 Ferrari’s alone.

“This year there will be just as much to see and do, including many trade and club stands so come early, bring your camera and plan the whole day at Brooklands.”

The event takes place on Saturday, May 5, and you can book at brooklandsmuseumshop.com or call 01932 857381 ext 268.

Parking for visitors in non-Italian cars will be in The Heights off Wellington Way.
