50 years of VETERAMA – the cult event for classics and curiosities celebrates its anniversary!
Since 1975, VETERAMA has been the Mecca for fans of vintage cars, classic cars and classic vehicles – and in 2025 we will be celebrating 50 years of concentrated passion for rusty legends and rare spare parts!
What once began as a small gathering of like-minded people is now Europe’s largest and most important trade fair for classic mobility. Over 26 kilometers of exhibition space, thousands of parts, vehicles and stories – VETERAMA is the place to be for mechanics, collectors and restorers from all over the world.
Whether in spring at the Hockenheimring or in fall in Mannheim: this is where scene meets substance, passion meets patina – and 2025 meets a very special anniversary.

Spring VETERAMA at the Hockenheimring – mechanics start the season early!
So that our tin-loving audience doesn’t have to wait until the fall for the next big highlight, VETERAMA has also been held in the spring for several years now – right at the start of the season at the legendary Hockenheimring. And 2025 will be even more special: we are celebrating 50 years of VETERAMA – half a century full of passion, the smell of oil and unique finds.
The pit lanes and the historic paddock are the meeting place for all the big names in the scene: Dealers, collectors, restorers and, of course, the many classic and vintage car clubs who present themselves and their rolling treasures on site. The race track is transformed into a paradise for fans of classic mobility – a place where browsing, trading, talking shop and marveling are the order of the day.
Whether rare spare parts, complete vehicles, original accessories, tools, technical literature or specialized service providers for restoration and technology – at VETERAMA, everyone who lives their passion for historic two- and four-wheelers will find what they are looking for.
And best of all, the spring VETERAMA not only offers the perfect opportunity to stock up your home workshop with new projects – it is also the ideal meeting place for exchanging ideas with like-minded people and gathering inspiration for the new season.

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.
