Mostra Scambio Imola

Well, bring the best walking shoes you have because you will do many miles. Remember the track is 5 km long wit a lot of ups and downs.

Hundreds of merchants are settled right and left of the tack including the chicanes. So you have to decide if you do one lap only checking the right side and then another doing the left or if you do it the zig-zag way. There is also a constant coming and going of merchants. Everything is offered there, but if you are looking for something specific it will be almost impossible to find it. You will always have the feeling that the rare item you are searching for is just being sold at the other side of the track. And then there is also the paddock area and the pit lane. But if you just like to browse it is a nice place to go. You might be able to find some good deals.

Bring a trolly with 4 wheels so you don't have to carry things. It might look stupid as long as it is empty but as soon you start buying you will be happy.

Also some excellent restaurants in Imola!

Have fun!

Never heard of this event, is it like beaulieu autojumble?

 

I've never been there so I don't know.

 

Hi Pete, here you find some info: Mostra Scambio Imola - Home Page - Manifestazione organizzata dal Club Romagnolo Auto e Moto d'Epoca
According to that it doesn't make much sense to go on Friday because they only open for the visitors on 1 pm. And I bet that most of the exhibitors arrive on Saturday. But if you are in the area anyway why not trying to simply sneak in?

Have you ever been to Padova http://www.autoemotodepoca.com/ ? In some ways this is the better show.

I was there last year and it was incredibly hot, and there's no shelter out on the circuit.
