From time to time, it is good to look back. It gives you an overview of what has been achieved and provides you with benchmarks for assessing the present and the future. In 1985, Dr. Eberhard Seifert was rummaging through old volumes of magazines and happened to come across a report on the General Motor Car Exhibition in Leipzig from October 18 to 25, 1901, which he edited and reproduced.

From time to time, it is good to look back. It gives you an overview of what has been achieved and provides you with benchmarks for assessing the present and the future. We were once rummaging through old volumes of magazines and happened to come across a report on the General Motor Car Exhibition in Leipzig from October 18 to 25 , 1901. In 1888, the first car, Carl Benz's patented motor car, whose maximum speed was that of a carriage moving at a sharp trot, was on display at a "Power and Work Machinery Exhibition" in Germany. Nine years later, the Central European Motor Car Association staged an "Auto-Revue" in Berlin, but it lasted only one day and featured only seven exhibits.
