We had a fantastic opportunity to have a private tour of Filching Manor Motor Museum. We saw a huge collection of some very special vehicles, the manor house and Bluebird K3 the water speed record breaker! A huge thank you to Karl for hosting us, it was a very memorable visit.

Festival Italia 2025 at Brands Hatch was once again a hit with members. Over 150 Abarths parked together, we enjoyed track action from Ferrari. Alfa Romeo and the F1 Historic Demonstration. There was a myriad of Italian food and drink on offer, from pizza to Moretti.

We enjoyed a picnic in the park at Brooklands Park in Worthing. The park has recently undergone a £3 million redevelopment, so there was plenty to see and do. Thankfully the weather was on our side too!

New event to the club for 2025, we attended the Bromley Pageant of Motoring. The event was held at the South of England Showground near Haywards Heath and AOCSSH was one of 130 clubs in attendance. We had a fantastic time and look forward to attending the show again in 2026.

After many requests from members, we made our first ever club visit to Bluebell Railway. Parked up at Sheffield Park Station, we enjoyed taking in the scenery of the picturesque 11-mile route on the steam train. A huge thank you to the Bluebell Railway team for having us.

This years theme at Thruxton Retro was ‘Superfunk’, which celebrated all things 70s. Alongside the racing on the track, there was live music, a fun fair and paddocks to explore. We had a 124 Spider and Punto Supersport represent the club for the Lunchtime Parade Lap.

We once again attended Hever Castle for their annual car show. This year saw over 4321 visitors to the castle and gardens. Our club display was located in the Italian Gardens and we had a selection of 35 Abarths. Thank you to the Hever Castle team for having us.

Another fantastic year at Abarth Fest at Mallory Park Racing Circuit. This year saw over 750 Abarths from all over the UK attend. There was also track action all day, with over 50 Abarths taking to the track. A huge thank you to Abarth Owners Club and Abarths on Track for putting together the event.
