Retro Classics Essen will open its doors for the first time from April 8 to 12, 2026, creating a new highlight for all classic car enthusiasts.
Large offer
A large number of dealers and specialists will be presenting their cars and skills. Classic cars from all eras will be on display. There will be no shortage of exotic Italians, niche English cars or popular German automobiles.
The vehicle sales exchange acts as a marketplace for vehicles of all kinds. Numerous vintage and classic cars, neo-classics, motorcycles and commercial vehicles gather here to be exhibited, presented and offered for sale. This area of the trade fair is deliberately broad in scope: Car enthusiasts can discover and compare vehicles with relative ease and meet potential buyers on the spot.
A special feature is the entry-level market: an area for vehicles with a sales value of up to EUR 10,000 (gross), which specifically highlights less expensive classic cars and thus also appeals to younger collectors or less experienced potential buyers.
Five days
The fair opens on Wednesday at 13:00. The first day does not end until 20:00. From Thursday to Sunday, the fair will be open from 10:00 to 18:00.
Further information can be found on the website of the classic car fair.
