Can you think up a name for this kind of event? The best name dropped in the comment box over 24 hours since publication will be rewarded with a PostWarClassic dashboard badge.
It's not a regular motoring event. It's not a regular Salon (it is open more than a month). And it is not a museum, as many of the cars were for sale. So, what is it? The "Autobello" is a private motoring event celebrated each year since 2009 in Madrid and Barcelona during the summer. It is an "outdoor" event with around 100 luxury cars in a beautiful landscape, but not like a "Concours D´Elegance", because there is no concours. This year, during Christmas time, another - but now an indoor edition - had place in Madrid. Lots of classic cars, boats and even helicopters (!) were united in a great pavilion, exposed in a curious made-up circuit. The next Autobello show will be June 20 in Barcelona and 27 June in Madrid.

Update: Rafael Pueche commented that TRAMO is the original name of this type of event. Tramo stands for stretch or circuit. The idea is that the cars are all posted inside the circuit along the Tramo or stretch and that the public is walking over the the circuit to see the cars. The current Autobello is only a reminder of the original. Thanks a lot Rafael! Check here
