The Alfa Romeo Owners’ Club helds its Spring Alfa Day in the grounds of the historic and beautiful Gawsworth Hall.

The picturesque black and white Tudor mansion near Macclesfield was the perfect setting for the parade of hundreds of the coveted Italian motors - old and new.

Hundreds of visitors flocked to view the vintage and current cars whose appeal to both motor experts and the uninitiated never wanes.

Some cars worth around £150,000 drew plenty of admiring glances.
