There must have been well over 300 cars at Brooklands today. I got there about 10:30 and already the two queues to get in where all the way back to the main road. In fact Brooklands seemed to be filling very quickly and they started double parking some cars. The coffee and food stalls were so busy  I didn't manage to get any lunch  :-[ (but did manage a blueberry muffin with my morning coffee when I got there  ;))  The weather was very good in the morning at least. The rain stayed away until about 2:00pm when people started leaving.

As you'll probably guess from my photos, I went in the Gamma  ;) In fact there were no 131s present and not too many Italian cars in general. Lancia were the best represented Italian marque with at least 12 cars there. Fiat were represented by the members of  Fiat500Enthusiasts.co.uk (http://www.fiat500enthusiasts.co.uk/). There were 4 classic Fiat 500s, a 126 and a lovely 850 Coupe.

My car of the show? It must be the Monteverdi  :-* (after the Gamma of course  :-* :-* ;D)
