Auto Italia is an annual event in Houten, The Netherlands. This is the first time I visited. Although the exposition isnīt too big, overall there is a very nice display of the rich automotive industry that Italy offers (both past and present).

As I haven't visited too many car displays yet, this was the first time I actually saw a Lamborghini Countach or Diablo in real life :o (they are also not very common in my neighbourhood)... Actually I was expecting to see at least a F40 or (a complete) Miura too, unfortunately those were missing.

When you were finished looking inside the Expo Center, there was a lot to see on the parking still. Please note that my photographic skills suck bigtime and I have no professional camera. So the pictures are only here to illustrate the event, not because I am proud of the pictures myself.

Anyhow, enjoy!

First time Houten for me ! and i liked it ! Everything italian so it could not go wrong for me. The carpark i found somewhat disappointing :o cause there was no separated space for the italian cars ! and there were many italians out there who had to park in the muddy section :(

First car displayed, BMW Art car inspired Ferrari Art car by Ton Pret
Second pic : Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Freccia d'Oro
third : unrestored Lancia Flavia Sport Zagato
4th : Bertone register display
5th : Cisitalia ex scud. Abarth
6th : Lamborghini Miura body shell

Those cars look familair... :)

Yes it was good event, a bit small only. Actually it looked to me like they 'reserved' one part of the parking for Italian cars only.
