Well as we were on a roll! The 7th April saw us in the west of the region at the Pike and Eel at Needingworth near St Ives for another Italian Cars and Coffee hosted by AROC East Anglia and brilliantly organised by Tony Wort, one of the section committee members. Tony got a fabulous group of cars together, probably around 40, plenty of Alfas, inc. 4c, Giulia’s, Sud Sprints Alfetta, 105’s 115’s Stelvio 159’s the lot plus a 1900 race car brought by Brunswick Motorsport! There were Fiat 500’s modern and a couple of the dinky originals, Abarths, Lancia, X19’s a Ferrari, Lambrettas and Vespas for the scooter lovers and then to top the lot and ISO Griffo. We will be doing this again later in the year. Well done Tony. Full image album below;
