ANYONE GOING TO THIS ,IM GOING HOPEFULLY

The ninth Midlands Italian Car Day is being held in the east of the region this year. Burghley House in south Lincolnshire needs little introduction; the largest and grandest house of the first Elizabethan era and home today of the famous Horse Trials.

On Sunday 16th August we will have exclusive use of a large parking area in the deer park, itself quite close to the magnificent buildings and the site facilities.

MITCAR will open at 10.30am and stewards will be on hand to park the cars by marque. The entrance fee will be a modest ?5 per Italian Car and this will entitle everyone to optional entrance to the house and Gardens of Surprise at half price! [Normal entrance price is ?11.30 for adults, ?5.60 Children 5-15 years, Concessions ?9.90, Family (2 adults and 2 children) ?29.00.]

As always visitors in any Italian car will be welcome and we can expect both classics and modern. There were over 230 cars present at Holdenby House in Northamptonshire last year and we look forward to beating this total. There will again be a competition for ‘Car of the Day’ (The Camshaft Trophy and Cup), and ‘popular vote’ cups for various categories by marque. The Brava/Bravo Organisation (BOO) will also be again awarding a cup.

The competitive element is always light-hearted at MITCAR, and sometimes the unusual and off-beat is rewarded, which might not be the case in a conventional Concours. It all adds to the fun! Prize giving will be at 3pm and, as has become the convention, all those who filled in voting papers will be entered in a prize draw.

Dealership displays are expected for Alfa Romeo and Fiat, and some other trade stands will be present.

Burghley’s beautiful Orangery Restaurant will be open all day offering a terrific range of foods from light-bites and salads to hot savouries. Many will want to picnic however this year barbecues are not permitted. Dogs are allowed if on a leash.
