For the second time, Auto e Moto d'Epoca will take place in Bologna from October 24 to 27, 2024. "After the success of the 'Premiere' in Bologna, this 41st edition of Auto e Moto d'Epoca is proving to be the European heart of the classic and modern classic car passion. Interest is high and the exhibition areas are already fully booked, despite the addition of Hall 37," explains Mario Carlo Baccaglini, Managing Director of Intermeeting. "We have the commitment of all the most important car sellers and dealers, joined by many new ones that we met on our European tour, during which we took part in the biggest trade fairs in the sector. Auto e Moto d'Epoca has already established itself at European level as the largest event dedicated to motoring passion."
Huge
The exhibition areas are confirmed: 235,000 square meters, spread over 14 halls, to be discovered via four themed trails, accompanying enthusiasts from 45 countries around the world to experience the past, present and future of the automotive world. The Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club Italia, for example, is celebrating its 40th anniversary and will present itself accordingly.
In addition to the numerous classic car clubs, the Moretti Enonsolo Museum, which is dedicated to the coachbuilders and designers of the 1950s and 1960s in Turin, will be taking part for the first time in 2024.
The Auto Parcours is an incomparable collection of vintage cars and motorcycles for sale, from rare collector's examples to the promising instant classic cars and youngtimers.
Around 7000 cars will be for sale in the six halls and four outdoor areas with a total of 125,000 square meters of exhibition space.
History, culture, innovation and inventiveness accompany and enrich every moment of the visit. The largest classic car market in Europe.
The motorcycle parcours continues: 15,000 m2 dedicated to all lovers of vintage motorcycles and new models, in the name of a shared cultural wealth.
Among the previews is a real rarity: the 1971 Ducati 500 GP ridden by Phil Read, the motorcycle that defined the 'classic' architecture of the two-cylinder Ducati still in use today. There will also be a retrospective dedicated to the particularly rich tradition of motorcycle manufacturers from Bologna.
Finally, the spare parts course: the largest European range of vintage spare parts - from mechanics and engine electronics to interior components. In 2024, the course was redesigned to improve the visitor experience: All car spare parts and automobilia are united in Hall 30, motorcycle spare parts in Hall 29, while Hall 28 is entirely dedicated to model making.
European exhibitors, particularly German and Spanish exhibitors, are on the increase, with the new market from Eastern Europe also becoming more strongly represented.
Large brand presence
Many brands have already confirmed their participation to experience this journey through automotive history to the new models launched on the market. Starting with the debut of Volkswagen Italia at Auto e Moto d'Epoca, with a stand entirely dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the Golf. The eight generations of the German bestseller will be on display, including the recently updated version.
There will also be activities involving Golf owners and enthusiasts, the human element that has made the success of a model that has sold 37 million units to date.
Tickets can already be purchased online. More information is also available on the show's website.
