There are events that you don’t just jot down in your calendar—they’re the ones you look forward to. For thousands of classic car enthusiasts from Germany and all over Europe, VETERAMA Mannheim is exactly that. From October 9 to 11, 2026, the Maimarkt grounds will once again be transformed into a unique world of classic cars, replacement parts, automobilia, motorcycles, and a whole lot of passion.
With over 280,000 square meters of exhibition space and more than 4,000 exhibitors, VETERAMA Mannheim is Europe’s largest classic car show. The scale is impressive—but just as important is the special sense of lifestyle it embodies. This is where people come together—whether they have gasoline running through their veins, have been tinkering with cars for decades, or are just discovering their passion for classic vehicles.
Search, browse, and discover surprises
What makes VETERAMA so special, even today, is the joy of discovery. Maybe you’ve been looking for a specific replacement part for years. Maybe you’d like to buy a classic car. Or maybe you’re just coming to stroll through the countless booths and let yourself be surprised.
It is precisely this mix that makes VETERAMA what it is. In addition to vehicles and replacement parts, you’ll find tools, books, historic signs, models, accessories, decorative items, and automotive rarities—some of which have likely been waiting in garages or workshops for decades for their big moment in the spotlight.
In 2026, there will be even more to experience
The supporting program continues to grow as well. Among other things, you can look forward to the BMW Club’s presentation, air-cooled classics, buggies, and buses from the VW Club, as well as the Falcone Club’s exhibition featuring the small Moto Guzzi models.
In Hall 2, DS AUTOMOTIVE will also present an exclusive tuning exhibition. On Saturday evening, the classic car meet will turn into a big party for everyone: Starting at 6 p.m., the band Fresh will get the crowd going with “Rock Unlimited.”
The countdown is on. Get your ticket early and be there when Mannheim once again becomes the center of the European classic car scene this October.
