Midlands Italian Car Day

MITCAR 2009 will be on SUNDAY 16th AUGUST at BURGHLEY HOUSE,nr STAMFORD

MITCAR is the annual Midlands event for owners of Italian cars, whether modern or classic.  Held on a Sunday in late Summer, the venue is always a park in the Midlands region, suitable for picnics, car display and with  interesting features for visitors. With increasing prices everywhere, we also strive to give the best possible value. The first year was 2001 at Kedleston Hall, 2002 at Shugborough, 2003 at Newstead Abbey, 2004 at Grimsthorpe Castle, 2005 at Coombe Abbey, 2006 at Bosworth Battlefield, 2007 at Calke Abbey and 2008 at Holdenby House.

A record number of cars - about 225 - were at Holdenby House, despite rather 'iffy' weather. Well the 'MITCAR luck' was bound to break eventually! The wind demolished a gazebo in the afternoon and although there were a few drizzly showers there were enjoyable fine spells too.
