What is an Italian vehicle?
For the purposes of Auto Italia, the organisers are looking for a display cars, bikes and scooters that are made by brands/makes/marques that were founded in Italy and have or had a strong connection to the country. The country of manufacture is a good indicator, but an Alfa Romeo made in South Africa or Fiat made in Poland are identifiably Italian in ethos, while a Jeep Renegade made in Italy feels American.
There are many cars that have Italian stylists such as Giorgetto Giugiaro, Giovanni Michelotti and Pininfarina, but their character is largely from the engineering. For the Italian Cars Association, these are not Italian cars and we respectfully ask that you do not enter them in the event. We also ask that you do not enter replicas of Italian vehicles based on chassis of other cars.
