 Garage gold in Salzburg - Golden October takes on a whole new meaning when collectors, dealers and lovers of classic cars spend a whole weekend together!


The CLASSIC EXPO will take place in Salzburg from October 18th - 20th, 2024



Salzburg.
Vacation in Salzburg: mountains, lakes and vintage car fair ... The International Classic Car Fair with special shows and auction: a 1955 Porsche 356, a few Ferraris such as the refreshing yellow 1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT from the L series or the 1964 "Shelby Cobra 289 Mk II" should be seen - before they change hands . The Classic Expo in the Salzburg Exhibition Center is a must for the classic car scene. From October 18th to 20th, 2024, well-known international dealers will meet collectors and enthusiasts here. Regardless of whether it's a sports car or a limousine, this year's garage gold will impress again. Rare, loved, well-maintained, restored and valuable classic cars with spare parts, accessories and literature promise a great weekend in addition to good conversations. Collectors, enthusiasts and restorers will also enjoy the themed exhibitions on the automobile history of various brands.  This year, numerous special shows have been announced that will certainly delight the crowds! Finally, we are celebrating 75 years of Abarth, 60 years of Mercedes Benz 600 and 50 years of Porsche 911 Turbo. Top-class classic car auctions are always a part of this, as are the offers from dealers and workshops. There are specialist lectures, restoration workshops and many classic car and motorcycle presentations. So: off to the mountains in Salzburg!

Auction of classic vehicles

 

Automobiles, motorcycles, etc. can be previewed at your leisure in the catalog and on site at the Classic Expo 2024


  •     From 1969 Glas Goggomobil TS 250 Coupé to the 1947 Bentley Mark VI or the 1960 Volkswagen T1 Camper, everything remains five-digit.
  •     If you want something faster, you can quickly get into the six-figure range with the 1970 Lola T210 (Lot 48) or the 1977 Ford GT40 by GT Development.
  •     The vehicles built in 1908 are also interesting, such as "Le Zebre Type A" in green and ocher or the "Itala 20/30 HP" - that's five figures again.
  •     From Jaguar to Mercedes to BMW and VW, everything is there.
  •     And, yes, every now and then a 1955 Porsche 356 1500 comes onto the market (Lot 99)
  •     and then the Ferraris are not far away (lots 104 and 105). They then bring in higher 6-figure sums, like the refreshing yellow 1970 Ferrari Dino 246 GT from the L series.
  •     And the 1964 “Shelby Cobra 289 Mk II” was supposed to fetch seven figures (lot 108). Carroll Hall Shelby himself would be pleased with the situation.
  • 1969 Glas Goggomobil TS 250 Coupé bis zum 1947er Bentley Mark VI oder zum 1960er Volkswagen T1 Camper bleibt alles fünstellig. 
  • Wenn es etwas schneller sein soll, dann ist der man mit der 1970er Lola T210 (Lot 48) oder dem 1977er Ford GT40 by GT Development auch schnell im sechsstelligen Bereich. 
  • Interessant sind auch die Fahrzeuge des Baujahres 1908 wie  "Le Zebre Typ A" in grün und Ocker oder der "Itala 20/30 HP" - da ist man dann wieder fünfstellig. 
  • Von Jaguar über Mercedes bis BMW und VW ist alles dabei. 
  • Und, ja, ab und an kommt auch wieder ein 1955er Porsche 356 1500 auf den Markt (Lot 99) 
  • und dann sind die Ferraris auch nicht mehr weit (Lot 104 und 105). Sie bringen dann wieder höhere 6-stellige Summen ein, wie der erfrischend gelbe 1970er Ferrari Dino 246 GT aus der L-Serie. 
  • Und die 1964er "Shelby Cobra 289 Mk II" sollte dann siebenstellig werden (Lot 108). Carroll Hall Shelby selbst würde sich über den Zustand freuen.
