Auto Basel 2013 will be the largest Auto Expo ever held in Basel. To mark its 10th anniversary, the organizers are promising a festival of automotive emotions.
Auto Basel will take place for the 10th time in the Rundhofhalle at Messe Basel from September 19 - 22.
Classic Car Auction
An absolute highlight awaits visitors on Saturday, September 21 at 3 p.m., when the Classic Car Auction opens. The organizers of Auto Basel have enlisted the auction professionals THE SWISS AUCTIONNERS from Toffen to jointly conduct the auction, at which around 50 classic cars will be auctioned off.
If you would also like to put your classic car up for sale at the auction, you can find the registration form and the relevant information at www.auto-basel.ch.
Classic Cars sales exhibition
The Classic Cars Sales Exhibition is also part of the special Classic Cars theme. Private individuals have the opportunity to exhibit their collector's car. A stand on the 1st floor costs a flat rate of CHF 350 per vehicle for the four days of the exhibition, excluding 8% VAT. A stand outside in the courtyard of the Rundhofhalle can be purchased for a flat rate of CHF 180 excluding 8% VAT. The registration form can also be found on the homepage www.auto-basel.ch.
Twice as big
The 10th edition of Auto Basel will be significantly larger than before. The exhibition area will be increased from 13,000 to over 25,000 m2. Once again, over 45 brands will be presenting their model range - peppered with a number of Swiss premieres. The commercial vehicles will also be exhibited on the first floor and no longer in the inner courtyard of the Rundhofhalle.
Special racing exhibition
A special exhibition on motor racing, organized by the Ecurie Basilisk motor sports club, will be held in a separate area. Motorcycles will also be presented at Auto Basel for the first time this year. Eight of the most important motorcycle brands in Switzerland have already confirmed their participation. In addition, over 20 suppliers from the tuning, accessories and services sectors will complement the wide range of products and services on offer to interested visitors.
The organizers of Switzerland's third-largest motor show (behind the Geneva Motor Show and Auto Zürich) are expecting over 35,000 visitors to the anniversary exhibition.
