Welcome to the IAMC!

We are an independent group of enthusiasts, linked by a shared love of Italian two- and four-wheeled vehicles. Many Italian car and bike clubs do not have enough members in particular areas to make local meetings and social activities viable, but by getting together such events become possible - and even more interesting!

Italian Autorail - Severn Valley Railway - Sunday 28th April 2024

We have staged many events in Bridgnorth, but we have never taken advantage of the opportunities offered by the Severn Valley Railway! The Seven Valley railway runs steam trains from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster, with various stops along the way. We will meet at a dedicated parking area at Bridgnorth, making a scheduled departure from Bridgnorth for a 1 hour trip on a Steam Locomotive to Kidderminster, returning later in the afternoon.

The schedule for the AutoRail is:

11:15 Depart from Bridgnorth Station on the Italian Express

12:20 Arrive Kidderminster

13:10 Depart Kidderminster

Please note that volunteer marshalls will remain in Bridgnorth in the parking area to ensure security of vehicles during the Autorail excursion.

Tickets for the Autorail adventure are £20 per adult, and £10 for children - this covers vehicle parking at the Italian Automoto site at Bridgnorth Severn Valley Railway Station, and a return trip to Kidderminster on the steam-powered Italian Autorail express! This is a special club rate, and a saving on the normal return fare, and a unique opportunity not to be missed! If interested, please forward details to enquiries@italianautomotoclub.co.uk

Shrewsbury Italian Automoto Festival - Sunday 26th May 2024

The inaugural Shrewsbury Italian Moto Festival will take place on Sunday 26th May, at the Quarry Park Shrewsbury. The setting is glorious, in a beautiful Victorian park sloping down to the River Severn. At the heart of Quarry Park lies the Dingle, a floral masterpiece cultivated by world-renowned gardener Percy Thrower, who served as Parks Superintendent for 28 years. It's a delightful sunken garden landscaped with alpine borders, brilliant bedding plants, shrubbery and charming water features.

We are teaming up with the Krazy Karts event taking place in the park that day. Hand crafted Karts descend the hill towards the Severn in a series of timed runs, negotiating chicanes and obstacles in a fun and action packed spectacle. It will be an event not to be forgotten! IAMC entrants will have a reduced entrance fee of £5 per person for Krazy Karts, as opposed to the standard £10 on the day. We'd heartily recommend entrants taking up this offer - this is only available in advance to IAMC exhibitors.

Please see here for details of the Krazy Karts event!

There is an exhibitors entrance fee of £15 for cars and £5 for bikes. Krazy Kart entrance is another £5 per person. To apply for entrance, please forward vehicle details (Marque, model and registration) to enquiries@italianautomotoclub.co.uk and if suitable (your vehicle is Italian, and we are not full) your entrance will be confirmed and payment will be requested. Pedestrian access to this event is free, and is greatly encouraged!

Entering IAMC Events

The IAMC no longer operates as a subscription-based club, and we therefore need to charge an entrance fee for events, in order to cover the costs of running the club, and putting on each event. We do not make a profit, and once costs have been covered, we make a donation to a charity local to the event. This might be a local food bank, a charity selected by the local council or mayor, or something like the Midlands Air Ambulance. We may also ask entrants to additionally bring a food donation for the local food bank.

If you are interested in exhibiting a vehicle at any of the events above, please forward vehicle details (and the event you would like to enter!) to enquiries@italianautomoclub.co.uk. We will confirm acceptance of your vehicle (the criteria is that vehicles should be Italian, presentable and interesting !), and would request that payment is made via Paypal or BACS. The entrance fee is generally £15 per vehicle, but some events may vary according to local requirements.

Looking forward to seeing you at one of the IAMC events in 2024 !

Bristol Italian AutoMoto Festival

We regret to confirm that there will be no BIAMF in the near future. Changes to the physical infrastructure around Corn Street, as well as organisational and commercial challenges have made this a harder and harder event to organise, and it seems unlikely that we would be able to stage it in its previous format.

The Club organises various events during the year. Our aim is to organise Italian Vehicle festivals in interesting and unusual locations, from town centres, to museums or docside location. For many years we staged the major Bristol Italian AutoMoto Festival , before local restrictions made the event unviable. We have also staged events in Swindon, Gloucester, Devizes, Chesham, Bridgnorth and Cardiff, and we are presently branching further afield. We are dependant on support from a small but dedicated band of volunteers and assistants, who give time and effort to marshall events.

Tribute must be paid to our founding member Paul Hanmore who is sadly no longer with us, but we remember his irrepressible spirit with every event that takes place.

For details of what we have done and have planned please see our Archive pages. We have an interesting past and a busy future, so why not join us at ones of our events?
