First held in 2024 by the Fiat Motor Club (GB) to celebrate Fiat’s 125th anniversary, this year’s edition of the now annual ‘Fiats & Friends’ event was once again held at the popular British Motor Museum at Gaydon in central England on August 1st. As its name suggests, Fiats & Friends caters for all Italian vehicles, whether made by Fiat or one of its many associated brands (Alfa Romeo, Lancia, Maserati, etc.), as well as other non-Fiat/Stellantis marques.

A healthy turn out of Fiat models from all eras and varieties made the trip to Gaydon for the day, along with a good spread of Alfa Romeos, Lancias, Abarths and Autobianchis, plus a few more exotic Ferraris, Maseratis and a sole De Tomaso.

The Trust’s mission is to keep the memory of the British Motor Industry alive, and to tell its story to all. [Read more…] about Race Cars at the British Motor Museum
