 It
is usually known as the "Enthusiasts show" and as usual, variety
was the order of the day at The London Classic Motor Show at Alexandra
Palace (17th & 18th of March, 2001). There was hundreds of gleaming concours and display vehicles
ranging from the veteran, vintage, Edwardian, prestige to the more
modern classic vehicles. There was also over 200 stands where one
could buy anything from general goods, autojumble, a complete classic
car or a nut & bolt!The 'theme' at the Fiat Motor Club stand was 'red'. Three cars were
displayed: an 850 coupe, Ferrari 308 and a
600 and yes, they were ALL red!
 The
Fiat Motor Club stand attracted a lot of attention from all the visitors
to the show but it also attracted special attention from an Italian TV
crew who were filming at the show. RAI, the Italian TV station, have a
special programme, broadcast in Italy on Saturday afternoons, which is all
about the love of cars and particularly classic cars. They had heard of
the classic car show at Alexandra Palace and decided it was worth a
special feature on their programme. The Fiat Motor Club stand
obviously attracted them but special attention was given to the red 600
on the stand. It seems the show presenter used to have such a car so it
brought back special memories for him. The TV crew spent some time
filming around the 600 and chatting with all the members on the
stand.
