April 3rd to April 7th, Messe Essen. Who’s going this year to ruin their feet once more?

We normally stay in Oberhausen just down the road, and head to the Messe Essen park and ride (Parkplatz 10). 10-15 minute bus ride in to the show. Painless.

And back. Another year, another show, more currywurst . Brilliant.

The show has definitely got smaller since the pandemic. I suspect it’s due to the whole cost-of-living thing, a cooling market, and manufacturers cutting costs by not attending. BUT this year felt the same size as last year at least, and weirdly, the variety and quality was way up. Seeing one high-end dealer with either a 250GT or 275GTB and a 35km Trabant (yes, really) on the same stand was a particularly nice contrast!
As always, lost of 911s (no bad thing of course), but amongst them nearly everything you’d ever want to see, from a Montiverdi High Speed to a Bizzarini 5300, via Facel Vegas, a 959, gorgeous Alfa 1900s and even a Mazda Cosmo.
