First Santa Cruz Motor Show, May 19-20
If you're in, or coming to, Tenerife next weekend and you like classic cars, then this is an important date for your diary. On the 19th and 20th of May, 2007 - next Saturday and Sunday - Santa Cruz will celebrate its "I Motor Show Ciudad de Santa Cruz" (First City of Santa Cruz Motor Show) on the esplanade alongside the Parque Marítimo.
On the 19th, there will be an exhibition of classic road and competition cars in the Parque Garcia Sanabria, also in the capital. The cars will be on show there from 4 p.m., until the following morning at 10 a.m., when they will take part in the motor show. (Don't worry, they've employed security to watch them overnight.)
Tenerife's Retro Cars Club say that the show will "remember, for the first time, the circuits of the 60s and 70s." From that, I imagine there's a good chance of seeing the relatively rare Fiat 131 Abarth that was in the recent Palma Canaria Norte Rally.
