Well, that's it for another year! The Eighth BIAMF took place in warm, dry and sunny conditions on April 24th 2010 and witnessed a huge turnout of two- and four- wheelers. From the exotic and  rare to the more often-seen we had a fantastic collection of cars, motorcycles and scooters lining the streets of Bristol's Old City, surrounded by a sea of interested spectators.

 

                          

 

Many thanks to all of you who took the trouble to share your Italian pride and joy with us -some attenders travelling a considerable distance to do so- and to the Ducati O. C. and all of our other helpers, many of whom reported for duty from 6.30am and were still at it ten or eleven hours later.

 

                    

 

Featured marques Aprilia and Alfa Romeo (thanks to Alfaowner.com for the centenary award) were certainly well represented, but there were also many other attention-grabbing makes and models to be found in every street.

 

                         

 

For full reports of the two- and four-wheeled aspects of the event, feedback, photo & video links and a surprising footnote to the day please see the green text further down this page. Thanks again to everyone -exhibitors, helpers, sponsors, traders and spectators- as we couldn't do it without YOU! 

 

~~~~~~Thanks to the donations collected by the bikers and a surplus from the car entries we were able to present our chosen charity Help For Heros with £500.~~~~~~
