This year's Essen Motor Show took place at the Gruga exhibition center from December 2 to 10. In addition to motorsport and tuning, classic cars are now an integral part of the fair. We were there and strolled through the halls, naturally keeping a watchful eye on everything old. This trade fair report describes our impressions and is richly illustrated.
