The 25th running of the Techno-Classica proved that there’s continued growth in interest in classic cars across Europe. Because over the course of four public days, and during the first sunny weekend in Germany of 2013, it managed to attract more than 190,000 visitors, a record number.

And it’s the scale of the show that continues to impress. More than 1200 traders and exhibitors and – very important for the overall success – 230 car clubs displayed their wares throughout 20 halls, while the major manufacturers continued to muscle in on the action, using the event to show new products, and place them in the context of what came before.
