We are taking off – VETERAMA Mannheim 2026 in planning
What a jubilee year 2025 – and yet we are looking ahead with joy: preparations for VETERAMA 2026 in Mannheim have already begun. Our heart continues to beat – and we invite you to be back where it all began.
Mannheim has not only been the location, but also the origin and soul of VETERAMA since 1975. What once started small with just a few dealers is now Europe’s largest classic car and spare parts market with more than 4,000 exhibitors, countless rarities and an atmosphere in which past and future merge.
In 2026, you can once again expect to find miles of rows of stands with spare parts, restoration objects, accessories, complete vehicles and automobilia on the extensive Maimarkt grounds. Whether you are an enthusiast of rare brands or a beginner with a small project – everyone will find what they are looking for here.
We fondly remember hours of visitors walking through halls and spontaneously finding that “one piece” they had been looking for for a long time. The scent of oil, the subtle clink of chrome parts and the exchange with like-minded people create those typical VETERAMA moments that stay with you. We want to offer exactly these moments in 2026 too – only bigger, more diverse and more inspiring.
You can already look forward to special highlights: thematic focuses, special exhibitions, new hall concepts and exclusive anniversary promotions that go beyond the traditional market. The trade fair will not only be a place for trade, but an experience for all the senses.
Make a note of the autumn date 2026 now and be there with heart and passion when Mannheim once again becomes the center of the classic car scene. Together with you, we want to continue making history – on 260,000 m² of exhibition space, with thousands of exhibitors and a community that has been connecting for five decades.
Over 26 kilometers of exhibition space with spare parts, vehicles and accessories.
International exhibitors, restorers, collectors and clubs in one place.
Almost 50 years of experience and passion for classic mobility.
Season opener in the spring at the Hockenheimring and grand finale in the fall in Mannheim.

VETERAMA – grown out of passion.
The name “VETERAMA” stands for “Veteranen-Markt-Mannheim” – and for a success story that began in 1975 with an idea from two classic car enthusiasts: Winfried A. Seidel and Walter Metz. What started out as a small scene event is now Europe’s largest trade fair for vintage and classic cars.
Every year in October, Mannheim becomes a hotspot for mechanics, collectors and lovers of historic vehicles. Thousands of visitors and exhibitors from all over the world come together to discover rare spare parts, accessories and unique classics – and to celebrate what unites them all: a passion for old technology and living automotive history.
