Retro Classics Essen
The second Retro Classics Essen takes place from April 14 to 18, 2027, and the fair encompasses pre-war classics alongside oldtimers and youngtimers, commercial vehicles, and an exclusive Neo Classics segment. The event builds upon the legacy of its predecessor, Techno-Classica Essen, which held its 35th edition before ending. Following a premiere that drew over 65,000 visitors from 51 countries, the 2027 edition establishes itself as an established platform for the international classic car scene - the organizers plan first-rate special exhibitions with rare vehicles, an extensive parts market, and a supporting program featuring demonstrations, expert lectures, and live auctions.
