Come on lads and lasses
To me personnaly it's an adventure.
Even getting the coop awake after a resting period of 3 years is one .
All that counts is the unforgettable experience this meeting will certainly be.

10 Years ago police on motorbikes escorted us through busy Turin city center.
Encouraging us to speed up as they overook us on the inside desperate to be in time at the next (traffic light) junction where they cleared the roads for us.
These bikers stayed with us, had lunch (and wine) with us, showed off their skills on the Iveco test track before we had a go at it.
They even guarded our coops as we left them parked in front of the Royal Palace.

Imagine the drive inside the world famous Lingotto building and ending up on the rooftop test track .
Visiting the private Pininfarina collection . . .
The list goes on and on.

From Calais to Turin is an estimated 10 hours on toll roads.
Book yourselves a hotel past Lyon on Thursday night and enjoy the last 180 miles on Friday morning through the Mont Blanc tunnel (some may feel tempted to wind down the windows here) in to Italy.

Please note that breakfast, lunch and dinner is included in the price per person.
They'll even serve you a drink at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I have registered for the full event...

When do you find out what number car you are?? Looking at the website, there are no cars listed as registered. Am I missing something?

You should have an email from the organisers with the number in it.

I also see no cars on the registered list yet.

In that case I am number 41????? but how can that be? I thought we were up to 60 something.

"Registration confirmation to the Gathering 20th anniversary of Fiat Coupè 1994-2014 - No. 41"

PS regarding TESCO - £10 in Clubcard vouchers exchanged for £30 Eurotunnel token codes.

Information from one of the members of the organisation:
You should receive a confirmation email 5-7 days after making the transfer and the arrival of bank deposit is verified (names will appear on the website after we verified the arrival of bank deposit).
I hope this weekend we will verify the first credits (so your name will appear the list).

Ah what the hell...

£15 bank charge, gotta keep those fat cats in bonuses!

£15... I thought the banks were supposed to be in competition with paypal...

An expensive lesson learnt, payment's gone through so it would have cost another £20 to reverse it, these charges are the same as they were 10 or 20 years ago when the only way to transfer money abroad was to visit the bank and fill in the paperwork, and wait...even PayPal would have been cheaper (except you can't do it via PayPal can you?) Next time I'll use these guys https://transferwise.com/en or similar!

Yes that £15 is exactly the same price as it cost the club to transfer about 1600 € to the SpaItalia organisers yesterday.

A fiver cheaper than it used to cost before on-line international payments became available. And I did all the bloody work for the bank.

Committed to going and hope to have another LE to take. My brother is partially committed to be my co-pilot, but is driving his old Land Rover to the Arctic Circle the following week so may not be able to do the 'Italian Job' as well.

I *currently* plan to get there via quickest route (tolls) and come back via Montreux/Lake Geneva.

Check out the site
So far 80 cars listed as attending

Whoop !


I note there are 12 British coupes listed so far.

Places are filling up fast ! this really is going to be a trip of a lifetime

I'm added.... I think!

Looks like you're the most recent, Bob - number 87...

Typical - I make the booking, for two, and now Adam wants to be added

Natwest only charge a £10 fee. They probably make more by offering a terrible exchange rate though

Up to 95 cars now....

13 UK cars

Roll up roll up... need a few more Brits.

The credit card is going to take a hammering this year but what the hell. I've signed up, apparently I'll receive an email with instructions for making payment?

If you are "Anthony W" #98 then you've just made it in, just two more "crews" (car) spaces left...

Yep that's me

I guess some folk are going to be disappointed at the museum... 120 max entries there, I read.

I wonder if there's a way to add a photo at this stage? Can't see anything on the site.

Are you referring to a picture to be added to the registration list?
If it's as tasty as registree number 2 than you're more than welcome to mail me your high res image.
#2 Giorgio B

This could turn into "Carry on Coupe" quite easily. All we need is Sid James as a co-driver.

The Piemonte club will be negotiating with Pininfarina to get all of their guests through.

For those of you who want to see a Coupé in good company on the Lingotto roof track: check this video out

We will try to take the scenic route and arrive in the hotel the thursday evening.

Bugger, no more spaces. I just saw this and tried to get a place.
