40th Edition of the Classic & Prestige Salon

The successful Classic & Prestige Salon celebrates its 40th edition during the Essen Motor Show starting December 2, 2022

Enthusiasts of extraordinary and exclusive automobiles will find everything they desire on approximately 17,000 square meters. Primarily featuring sports cars, tuning, and lifestyle, the event has also successfully integrated Classic Cars in recent years.

Growing demand and popularity

The Classic & Prestige Salon in Halls 1 and 2 is regarded as an established classic car exhibition and serves as a meeting point for enthusiasts of unique, exclusive, high-performance, and sports automobiles. Contrary to the trend, some vehicles at the Classic & Prestige Salon are experiencing significantly increasing demand. Luxury vintage cars are becoming more popular as investment assets, and this trend remains resilient against economic influences. The passion for live automotive history is more vibrant than ever among buyers and sellers.

The 40th edition of the Classic & Prestige Salon celebrates multiple anniversaries

In honor of the 100th anniversary of the legendary endurance race "24 Hours of Le Mans," the Technik Museum Sinsheim will showcase a rare, 150-horsepower Triumph TRS that participated successfully in 1961.

70 years of the SL are being celebrated by the German automaker Mercedes-Benz. The Mercedes sports car first caused a sensation in 1952. Even then, experts agreed it would be very successful in the coming years. Additionally, AMG celebrates its 55th company anniversary. While this may be new to many specialists, the company from Großaspach near Stuttgart was founded in 1967 by Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher. In 2010, the Classic & Prestige Salon showcased the first model developed entirely in-house, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Every year, fans from around the world look forward to the Classic & Prestige Salon at the Essen Motor Show. This year, all classic car enthusiasts will be fully satisfied. If the selection at the fair feels limited, a large exclusive offer of Herando offers luxury vintage cars at all times.
