WHY has VETERAMA become the most important event for the classic car scene?

Because since 1975 it has not only been a market, but an indispensable meeting place for passion, exchange and the rescue of automotive history.

Behind every gleaming classic is real passion – and a lot of work.

Anyone admiring one of the perfectly restored cars or motorcycles of past decades today often has no idea how much passion, expertise and patience went into such a project. Many of these rolling contemporary witnesses of modern engineering stood forgotten in barns, garages or storerooms for years – until they were brought back to light by real enthusiasts.

Up to 2,000 hours of work are required to restore a vehicle to its original condition – just as it once left the factory. Missing or no longer available parts, badly damaged bodywork or technically obsolete components make every restoration a real adventure.

But this is precisely where the appeal lies: rust becomes shine, the past becomes the present – and every screw speaks of a passion for what remains.
