1 country ,2 days ,2 classic car shows in Germany.

[Pericoloso]

Went to Retro Classics at Messe Stuttgart for the first time this weekend and then north for Techno Classica at Messe Essen .

I "only" took 841 pictures with the camera and about a dozen with phone cam.

Retro classics on Friday first.

























Please excuse picture quality ,they'll all be poor to average quality at best...

Many more to follow.

I don't think that had an info sheet with it but the wheels suggest to me that it's got Citroen roots.

Many more pics to come BTW.

You are a true enthusiast, sir, as any PHer already knows. The NART Ferrari in the first bunch is quite the curio, the yellow Pagoda I thoroughly approve of, the Koenig R107 is a magnificent abomination, but what in the name of God's holy trousers is the last one in the second post????

This?

It's a Burton, a Dutch 2cv-based kitcar.

Good on you, I bet you've got sore feet.

I don't think my feet were sore but my entire body was broken at the end of each day as both of these are HUGE.

wire wheels don't suit this FIAT Ghia 1500 GT ,2 more standard with steel wheels in the auction looked much nicer.

Jeep got wood.

Some lovely stuff in there.

How well is the Retro Classics in Stuttgart supported by the manufacturers? I go to Techno Classica Essen every year (I was there last Friday and my feet still hurt!) and the level of support from the likes of Porsche, Mercedes and BMW is outstanding.

Looking forward to your Essen pictures, I "only" took about 250...

Bit ridiculous having two major shows in the same country on the same weekend.

Thanks for taking the time and effort to share your pics!

Some great stuff there..in fact I haven't seen another Opel Manta 1.9 SR since my wife sold hers (probably 30 years ago)

And as for the Merc Testarossa creation....errrr..I think I like it..just a bit though LOL!

I can't decide whether it is genius or stupidity to put them both over the same 4 days.

After having been to both now ,there is definitely enough cars to fill both.

The major German manufacturers do support both ,when I get to the pics you will see BMW had a bigger display of "40 years of the M1" in

Stuttgart over Essen.

Some major car dealers were at both too.

I would recommend flying to Stuttgart ,the airport is right next door ,NEC style and then if you want to drive ,it's only 270 miles up to Essen.

I'll post another lot of pics now.
