Preparations for the Lucerne classic car fair Swiss Classic World 2014, which will take place on May 24 and 25, 2014, are in full swing.
New trade fair concept
The new trade fair in central Switzerland is intended to bring together dealers, service providers, owners, friends and anyone interested in classic vehicles and accessories in a unique way. You have to look abroad for role models, such as the InterClassics in Maastricht or the Rétromobile in Paris.
"We don't want to compete with the established events, but rather create something new in Switzerland," says Roland Hatebur, one of the organizers. And Bernd Link, who is also actively involved in the preparations, adds: "A platform like this for the classic car scene is absolutely necessary in Switzerland - we have often heard this feedback in the many conversations we have had."
Already well booked
Over fifty well-known classic car dealers, traditional brands, restorers, saddlers, metal finishers, tinsmiths, insurance companies, accessory suppliers and other providers from Switzerland and abroad are already on the exhibitor list, including Allianz Suisse, Autowelt Bachmann AG, Belmot Suisse, Christoph Grohe, Classic Data, Emil Frey Classics AG, GB Classic Car Dönni, Graber Sportgarage, Kestenholz Classics, Lutziger Classic Cars, Oldtimer Garage, Oldtimer Atelier, Roos Engineering, Swiss Car Register, SMVC Lady Drivers, Topolino Club Innerschweiz and the Lucerne Museum of Transport, to name just a few examples.
Modern infrastructure
Over the past few months, they have all been won over by the trade fair concept and the Lucerne trade fair location.
The new, professional and visitor-friendly exhibition infrastructure on Lucerne's Allmend is an important factor here. Opened in August 2013, several successful events have already been held in the new exhibition halls. It has been shown that ideal conditions have been created for trade and public exhibitions to offer exhibitors and retailers a perfect platform.
Classic cars on over 10,000 square meters
A total of 10,000 square meters in two halls plus outdoor areas and corresponding parking spaces are available for the Swiss Classic World. However, it is unlikely to be cramped.
And some of the stand spaces are still available. But you shouldn't wait too long to make a reservation, because space is only available while it lasts.
Further information and details can be found on the Swiss Classic World Lucerne website.
