35th International Fiat 500 Meeting in Garlenda

Garlenda 2018 – This Year’s Highlights!

It’s time again: On July 6-8, 2018, Fiat Club Italia will welcome Fiat enthusiasts to the 35th edition of their International Fiat 500 Meeting in the small north-Italian town of Garlenda, presenting Hungary as the guest country. For Fiat 500 drivers, Fiat 500 lovers or other enthusiasts, this event is an absolute must that radiates far beyond the borders of Italy and will again attract numerous visitors from all over the world – that is for sure.

As in the previous years, there will be a lot to see: the organisers expect more than 1,000 Fiat 500 classic cars, and a variety of caterers will provide excellent food and drinks. And those who love to go for a ride through picturesque landscapes with their Fiat 500 will have a great time going to Ligueglia, Alassio, to the “Le Caravelle” water park in Ceriale or by taking part in the Grand Tour – Valle Arroscia – fun guaranteed!

In addition, there will be an extensive entertainment programme with various shows and live music, a festive dinner in Castello Costa del Carretto as well as the traditional talk show on the big stage where, in 2015, Burkhardt Hildebrandt – sponsored by Axel Gerstl – answered questions about the adventures he experienced during his ride through the Sahara desert in his Fiat 500 (see newsletters no. 125, no. 56). In the meantime, it almost goes without saying that the “Dante Giacosa” Fiat 500 museum is open all the time during the meeting and that admission is free for all participants.

And for all those who cannot wait for the meeting to begin and would like to arrive a bit earlier, Fiat 500 Club Italia offers an extensive warm-up programme under the motto “Waiting for the meeting”, featuring a series of events. It will start on Monday, July 2. These events are exclusively for the “Cinquecentisti” who can benefit from them to discover the western Ligurian hinterland. On this tour, the participants will visit some of the most beautiful villages in Italy (Castelvecchio di Rocca Barbena, Zuccarello, Castelbianco) as well as the garlic fair in Vessalico.

If you would like to take part in the 35th International Fiat 500 Meeting in Garlenda, please remember to register in advance on the website of Fiat 500 Club Italia. This should help the club to prevent congestions at the entrance when the participants collect their welcome gifts, so that everybody will have a smooth start into the meeting.

30 years of Axel Gerstl - An entry by F. Tiemann, Germany

"For me, Fiat 500 and Axel Gerstl have in fact been closely linked to each other for 30 years. While we never had any personal contact, the adverts in the Oldtimer Markt and Praxis magazines have always reminded me of the company. The desire to buy an old Fiat 500 had been with me all through these decades. Last autumn, at last, my dream came true. I found a suitable “relict” and brought it back to life over the winter season. Ever since, the Axel Gerstl team reliably supplied me with the spare parts I needed. The supply has been flawless all the time, the deliveries are fast and the quality of the spare parts is outstanding. I’m glad you are there!"

30 years of Axel Gerstl - An entry by G. Labrune, France

"Hello everybody! I bought my Fiat 500 two years ago, and the desire to restore it and make it as new has taken hold of me. I got virtually all my spare parts from Axel Gerstl and I can’t wait to go for the first ride!"
