Last weekend we gathered at The White Swan in Arundel for a spot of lunch. A new venue to the club, we enjoyed having use of the function room, gardens and surrounding woodland.

Brooklands Italian Car Day in association with Auto Italia magazine returned for its 30th event. Over 150 Abarths were in attendance displaying on the finishing straight and historic banking. There were displays from all Italian marques, with track and test hill demos.

Congratulations to Jaime for winning ‘Photo of the Month’ for April 2024. A stunning sunset shot of her Abarth.

We attended InCarNation 2024. This event takes place every year on Madeira Drive, on Brighton’s seafront pulling in over 1,000 cars. We enjoyed displaying our cars on the promenade, showing the car community what Abarth has to offer.

We returned once again to the Bursledon Brickworks, also know as the Brickworks Museum. Believed to be the last surviving Victorian steam powered brickworks. We enjoyed touring the museum, catching up over food and drink, and even got treated to a visit by a steam engine!

We gathered at Rykas Cafe in Dorking near Boxhill to celebrate 75 years of Abarth. It was this weekend on the 31st March that Abarth was founded by Carlo in 1949.

We enjoyed another visit to Goodwood Motor Circuit for breakfast. A total of 114 Abarths of all models, including classic ones attended. At the end of the meet Goodwood kindly let us get some photos on the starting grid.

We enjoyed another visit to Rally Replay in Chichester, home to some legendary machines, it was Rally Heaven! Some members even had the chance to take the Peugeot 205 T16 Simulator for a spin.

Some fantastic results at our annual dyno day, at Surrey Rolling Road in Farnborough. Best result of the day was Jake and his Abarth 595 Competizione pushing out 217.1bhp.

Surrounded by history and Victorian architecture, we enjoyed a return visit to Fort Nelson. We had a special parking area for our Abarths over looking Portsmouth and the Solent.

Another lovely morning spent at Alberts Cafe, many Abarths and as always the bacon sandwiches went down a treat!

A wet Sunday morning at Route 1066 Cafe near Robertsbridge. We enjoyed a tasty breakfast whilst taking shelter from the rather wet weather outside! Thank you to the 1066 Cafe team for having us.
