Switzerland's oldest vintage car and parts market in Fribourg, which had to be canceled in 2020, is returning in 2021 and insists on its presence!

The 45th edition is planned for the fall in collaboration with Retro-Technica and will take place on October 16 and 17, 2021. One week earlier than previously planned.

The Forum Fribourg team and the support committee, which is made up of directly affected dealers, specialists and collectors, have been actively working to find a solution.

The pandemic has changed everyday life since March 2020. So many planned and important moments have been banned. However, this sad, unpleasant and economically damaging situation seems to be gradually improving. We in the hard-hit industry are not giving up and are fighting to preserve passion.

Jo Siffert at the center

On October 24, 1971, Jo Siffert died tragically at Brands Hatch. 50 years later, the event is being strongly commemorated with a special memorial exhibition and the presence of related events.

The OTM is of course at the top of the list! The one who had the aura of today's "Roger Federer at the time is still revered by generations. This memory will undoubtedly be the highlight of the 45th edition of the OTM. But not only...

Adapted format

To exist in 2021, the OTM will have to adapt its size and partially occupy Hall 1 of the Forum Fribourg with spare parts dealers and vehicle sales. Together with Retro-Technica, an attempt will be made to complement the vehicle collectors' themes in an attractive and different way. This synergy will enable an OTM edition in 2021, as it was not an option to cancel the OTM a second time!

The outdoor area is only available for vehicle sales, another pillar of the OTM. The main associations will also be represented.
The nearby parking lot for visitors arriving in a classic car over 40 years old will still be available. A varied catering offer will also provide the necessary festive dynamics!

So make a note of the date on March 26 and 27, 2022, when the 46th edition of the OTM returns to its roots.
