We going to this ...stanford  le17 6dh
   southerners can meet at services A14 north of cambridge cb23 4wu . so phil 's gang can meet with me and anyone else from south east ...

Haven't decided whether I'm going to this yet Jason. Will have to confirm on Saturday.

As this is no longer an Italian car event and as it's quite a distance to get to and as it's quite expensive to park in a field full of (most probably) British classics it's of no interest to me and I won't be going.

Why don`t you all go to my local pub 2miles away from stanford hall -free parking nice beer and I will be there  ;D with my 131  ;)

 There still saying its Italian Concourse..

I think you can count me out of this one - its a bit too far to go.

and baveria wasn't  ;D ;D ;D ;D

The longstanding Auto Italia Concours will make a centrepiece to the event, with exotic, classic and historic Italian cars from all eras.
Italian car clubs (classic and modern cars) will form part of the Italian village theme.
Several owners? clubs have already booked early to secure space including Pontiac, Sunbeam Alpine and Alvis clubs.

Sorry Jas,

I had a feeling there was a reason why I wasn't too interested in this any more. Too many non-Italian clubs. :-\ Looks like you be going alone - sorry.

Simon

More or less like a normal auto italian only a few other non itailan down near the carpark so our fears where unfounded ,,
   In the 131 camp was me and bobby sev and his lovely little family and litte sevy is a very nice  chaty little chap
 sheltering under his gazebo  ;D

It's been a long weekend and a tiring one. It was good to see you Jas, we all loved your company! Good job I bought the gazebo, how hot was it today?!! I am trying get my little boy Jai into liking italian cars and especially the 131.

First time out in the Volumetrico and it's big smiles all the way  ;D ;D

Looks like a nice setting for a car day out. I was glued to the German GP and the tennis so missed out on Terenure here in Ireland.

Vx looks fine Bobby - What was it like on the motorway and does it drink lots of juice?

Is that the correct number plate or your "show" plate...? :)

Wheels suit the car better Jason..... :)

Hi Kev, just a few photos for now, will post full details of the car very soon. The plate is just for show. It seems really good on fuel if you stick to the legal limit, exceed it and you see the gauge falling. I was told the car has different cams so won't be helping economy but, performance is great and it's fun to drive.

Looking good Bobby, the VX passed the MOT then  ;)  We need more photos  :)

Steve, flew through the MOT. Quick pre check......needed 2 number plate bulbs, offside dip beam bulb and wiper blades were split. I replaced the front pads too as they were around the 4mm mark. The car is mint, underbody is unreal, check over revealed recent new vented front discs fitted, front calipers, rear brakes inc cylinders/cable, fresh set of Pirelli P6's and even has an original Volumetrico exhaust system.

Hi Bobby, Wow, nice one  :)  I can remember (back in the day) 131s failing the MOT on a couple of bulbs, bit of blow on the exhaust and no floor  :D

If you had to patch the passenger side outer sill and "do a bit of floor" you were getting off lightly  ;)
