Owning a Figaro is all about sharing those special moments when you hook up with other owners. Be it a few owners meeting for a coffee or a larger event, the club is passionate about creating these special memories through our Chapters and club calendar.

Our events & rallies are famous for convoys, waving and having so much fun. Since our first adventure to Jersey in 2012 we have held rallies in multiple countries including Belgium, France, and Holland, and held neumerous events in the UK! If you wish to attend an event go to the Events Page
