With the spring Veterama at the Hockenheimring, the classic car scene can once again look forward to the largest classic car market in Europe.
While the world is discussing alternative drive systems, the combustion engine has a very special tradition in Germany. Automobiles were and still are built in Germany that are coveted the world over. In motorsport, Germany set unique standards with the Silver Arrows from Mercedes Benz and Auto-Union.
But Germany's unique leading role in the two-wheeler sector is also still well remembered. From A for Adler to Z for Zündapp, there was once a unique variety of engines.
The bicycle also has a long tradition in Germany. In the 1920s and 1930s, there were certainly more than 200 bicycle manufacturers.
These rolling witnesses of the mobile past must be preserved for posterity.
More than just parts
Veterama has been making a significant contribution to this for almost half a century. Here, dealers offer parts that can still be found on forgotten shelves. Over the years, however, many small businesses have also specialized in producing new parts based on old patterns. This has enabled Veterama to become the largest classic car market in Europe.
For the spring Veterama in Hockenheim on April 14-16, 2023, most of the "regular spots" have already been taken by dealers. However, it is striking that there are also many new registrations from suppliers who are applying for a stand space for the first time.
Veterama can therefore once again expect a full house, as the space available at the Hockenheimring can be expanded at any time.
In addition to the popular show arena, where classic car owners can exhibit their vehicles, and the Veterama marketplace, where classic and vintage cars are offered for sale, there is still plenty of space for new dealers.
There are only a few weeks left until the lights turn green for the classic car scene at the Hockenheimring.
