Clubs and Historic Registers: the motoring legacy at Auto e Moto d’Epoca 

From the internationally acclaimed Triumph Spitfire MK3 spider to the 30-year anniversary celebration of the Lancia Y Elefantino, and the iconic Alpine and Renault models brought by CRAGI. 

Auto e Moto d’Epoca has always dedicated significant space to Clubs and Historic Registers, which are key hubs for classic car enthusiasts. These are not simply display areas; they are places where stories, experiences, and future projects are shared, creating a direct link between the past and present of automotive culture. 

• The CRAGI – Club Renault Alpine Gordini Italia club is showcasing two models that have defined French automotive history at Auto e Moto d’Epoca. The Alpine A310 V6, launched in 1976, was equipped with a 150-HP PRV V6 engine, allowing it to reach 225 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Thanks to its rear-engine configuration and lightweight design, it established itself as a benchmark Grand Tourer and a prominent competitor in rallies. Alongside it, a Renault 5 Turbo will be on display, recognisable by its rare combination of a red body and a red-and-blue interior. It is one of only 1,820 units produced and is now considered a true symbol of 1980s motorsport. 

• The booth of the Italian Triumph Spitfire Register (R.I.T.S.) will feature two Spitfire MK3s, the series that captivated the French Riviera and California with its elegant silhouettes and brilliant 1300cc engine. Designed by Turin stylist Giovanni Michelotti, the various series of the Triumph Spitfire were produced for 18 years, with a total of over 314,000 units, solidifying Standard Triumph’s international success. 

• The Peugeot Citroën Italia Historic Club will be attending with a large booth set to host the Historic Club in collaboration with the clubs federated under Peugeot Citroën DS Insieme. This year’s event will be an opportunity to celebrate two important anniversaries: the 70^th anniversary of the Citroën DS and the 60^th anniversary of the Peugeot 204. In addition to these celebrations, the other clubs will be showcasing exclusive models and limited-edition versions, offering enthusiasts a true journey through the history of the two French brands.

• The Lancia Island, also present this year, will welcome the model clubs and a special “showpiece,” the details of which will be revealed soon. In this context, the Lancia Club is promoting the Lancia Historic Register, with a particular focus on the more recent models. The Lancia Y Elefantino Rosso will be on display, celebrating its 30^th anniversary. This sporty version, presented in pastel black, features a lowered and stiffened suspension, an 86-HP engine, and a close-ratio gearbox.
