For many years, classic car enthusiasts have been drawn to Italy in October to see old cars and motorcycles again at the largest trade fair south of the Alps. From October 26 to 29, it was that time again in Padua, where even more classic cars from the past were on display than in previous years. This picture story gives an impression of the fair, which should also be understood with a twinkle in the eye.

Cars are a magical attraction, even at the "Auto e Moto d`Epoca", the classic car fair in Padua ...

... the Mercdes-Benz 300 SL of the W198 series is increasingly becoming a world cultural heritage and has already found its way into the land of perfect car design, ...

... where he once again offered the most beautiful of the beautiful shelter under his wings.

Porsche's "intelligent performance" paired with Italian leg and shoe design.

As a result of the greater space available, the quantity probably increased, but the quality tended to decrease.

Certificates and evidence of an automobile's history sometimes seem to increase its value immeasurably.

... which is why they find a buyer very quickly.

But it's not always easy, especially in Italy, because the Guardia di Finanza is omnipresent, ...

... one or the other control plate has to be covered.

Not only the glory days of Italian motorsport are reflected in the paintwork of Bertone's signature, ...

... the Tifosi have always been unbeatable when it comes to leather processing.

But not everything showed its brilliance in the sun, ...

... from time to time even the odd fowl crept into the Fiera.

However, it was also clearly shown how new shine can be brought back to the metal from matt rust.

... where the turtle has already achieved a much higher level of recognition thanks to Tazio Nuvolari.

In the special exhibition at the Autodromo di Monza, this 1979 Merzario A3 was unfortunately on display without the craziest sponsor ever seen in F1 in the form of a crematorium.

Not only cappuccino and tiramisu are always worth a trip to Italy, ...

Despite more space, parking had to be tight again in 2017 to accommodate everything, so ...

... the cars were once again criss-crossing the area, ...

... so that unfortunately some of the precious objects could not be photographed properly.

So you're doubly pleased with a stand like the one Audi presented.

... long live the electric drive, even in Padua.

Not only the "Swarowski Kolibri" on the Delahaye showed its most beautiful side, ...

... the many 300 SL models are certainly already looking forward to the "auto e moto d` epoca 2018".
