The market began to regularly try out new locations to meet the growing demand and international appeal. This growth reflected the increasing interest in classic cars worldwide.
A community of enthusiasts
The market is much more than just a place to trade. It is a community of classic car fans who share their knowledge and experiences. The event offers a platform for lectures, presentations and workshops on all aspects of classic cars. This not only promotes a passion for classic vehicles, but also the exchange of knowledge and the preservation of this cultural asset.
