28 April 2012
10th Bristol Italian Auto Moto
Festival
Bristol City Centre
The 10th Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival will be held on Saturday, 28 April. For this 10th BIAMF we shall also be celebrating some other anniversaries: It is also 10 years since the Alfa Romeo 156GTA arrived in Britain, the Lancia Beta makes 40, the Alfa Romeo Giulia hits 50 and Bertone reaches a magnificent 100.
The Maserati Khamsin, styled by Bertone, will also be 40, so we hope to see one or two of these very rare cars. Our featured two-wheeler will be MV Agusta, but there will of course, be the usual wide selection of other two and four wheeled Italian transport, plus a sprinkling of three wheelers.
The event will again take place on the closed streets of the historic Old City area of Bristol. Cars and vehicles brought on a trailer or transporter must have an official pre-booked entry - obtainable from biamf@italianautomotoclub.co.uk. There will be a small charge payable on application to cover administration costs. There will be no 'last minute' entries on the day. Two wheelers ridden to the event need not be pre-booked but all enquiries please to bristol@docgb.net for details of the ride in.
All surpluses will be donated to Help For Heroes.

Khamsin Quaranta
Beaune and Dijon, France
2012 means forty years of the Khamsin and Marc Sonnery, a France-based motoring journalist, author and arch Khamsin enthusiast, in conjunction with Eau Rouge Publishing, is celebrating this important milestone by organising an International Khamsin-only rally.
Marc Sonnery is the author behind the Khamsin website: www.maseratikhamsinregistry.com, which is a mine of information for owners and enthusiasts of the Bertone classic.
This weekend event will take place in France between Beaune and Dijon in the Burgundy region, a fantastic area to visit with vineyards, castles and some great roads. Marc’s ambition is to get 40 cars for the fortieth anniversary and from as many countries as possible.
For Khamsin owners this will be the event of next year and certainly one to diary now!
For more details email Marc at contact@maseratikhamsinregistry.com or contact Eau Rouge Publishing at sales@eaurougepublishing.com.
