Italian Cars Visit

In spite of other attractions last Sunday, like a certain Cricket World Cup Final, visitors thronged to see a collection of varied Italian cars on display at Heage Windmill.

Some 45 cars on display included Fiats, Alfa Romeos, Abarths, Ferraris, and Lancias. One car that drew the eye was a rare red 1972 ‘Justino’ made by Ferrari, which had raced at Le Mans.

A black Abarth 595 Trofeo 1.4 turbo , owned by Rich & Cid from Nuneaton, was named Best Abarth. Attila Corsoba (left) of Coffee N Cars presented the award

Awards were made for the Best in Show along with the Best Abarth model.

A great day was enjoyed by all and we hope to see the Italian cars again next year.

In the early 19th century, Britain had 10,000 windmills. Heage Windmill experienced fluctuating fortunes until the Heage Windmill Society was formed in 1995. To discover Heage Windmill's history and how it was restored to working order, click here >
