The last one is actually the Bremen Classic Motorshow 2018. It’s been five years since I was last there. I just couldn’t make it in 2019, and 2020 to 2022 – well, you can fill in the blanks. So this year I went again.

I made the mistake of going on Saturday morning. It was hugely crowded, which is good for the show, but the freedom of movement was pretty limited. Next year it’ll be more of an afternoon or early evening visit.

In 2018, I personally found the show more varied. This year it was very German – lots of German cars, which in my opinion gets a bit boring quite quickly. There was no cool Opel Senator to be seen, just lots of Benz, BMW and of course VW. That gets old fast.

There were a few highlights for me throughout the show, though, even if it wasn’t always easy to get a decent shot. Have a look for yourself:

Various mopeds, with a Piaggio in the foreground.
Typically red Alfa Romeo convertible. Model unknown.
Renault 5 Turbo with mid-engine layout. The standard version sits in the background.
Jaguar coupé in burgundy.
Likely a Rover, though I'm not entirely sure, in metallic grey.
Ash-grey Mini with a Honda engine.
Citroën Kübelwagen in bright yellow.
Studebaker Avanti in a subtle red.
Audi 100 Coupé in turquoise.
English luxury car. Make and model unfortunately unknown.
Blue BMW saloon from the 70s.
Bright yellow Mini with a Honda engine swap at the TÜV Hanse stand.
Red Austin GT.
Peugeot 205 Turbo in its typical grey.
1950s or 60s Piaggio three-wheeler with a box body and twin rear axle in light green.
Light blue Austin Healey coupé.
Vintage children's ride-on vehicle.
Racing version of a red Mini. Unassuming from the outside.
Ford Granada in ochre yellow.
Grey Mini Cooper.
Ford Taunus GT in the foreground, with the standard version behind it.
Front view with a slight angle on the right side of a white Citroën DS.
Vintage exercise bike.

The Bremen Classic Motorshow also has a YouTube channel well worth checking out.

For more than 10 years, the Bremen Classic Motorshow has been held just before spring and now attracts around 45,000 visitors.

This year, almost 650 exhibitors presented themselves over three days in the Bremen exhibition halls, and you can see my highlights of the exhibits here:
