You'll find a delightful mix of cars which cover the entire motoring tradition at Auto e Moto d'Epoca 2023 in its new venue at BolognaFiere. Among the previews: two century-old models, a surprise linked to the famous 24 Hour Le Mans race, Mercedes 190, the iconic Volkswagen Camper, several specimens of the Renault Alpine and, to celebrate its seventieth anniversary, two First Series Lancia Appia.

Stretching across 235,000 square metres of exhibition space provided at BolognaFiere, Auto e Moto d'Epoca will be able to develop all the facets of Heritage culture. Historic Clubs and Registers, guardians of the classic car and motorbike heritage, will be flocking to the exhibition, both with booths and rallies, in the generous outdoor spaces within the exhibition district.

Here are some of the clubs who have already confirmed they will be attending the Classic Exhibition:  

The Scuderia San Martino and the San Martino in Rio Car Museum, who will jointly present a double booth, the former displaying two century-old cars in a space that replicates the premises of the Car Museum, the latter comprising a space to illustrate the activities of Scuderia San Martino with a surprise in store linked to the famous 24 Hour Le Mans race (which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year) and the classic VW Camper; 

CRAGI, Club Renault Alpine Gordini Italia, a benchmark since the 1980s for fans of the Alpine make and of Renault sports cars, will accompany its members and aficionados in the new setting at BolognaFiere with a booth dedicated entirely to the ALPINE; 

To celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the First Series Lancia Appia - which was presented to the public for the first time on 18th April 1953 at Valentino Castle in Turin, the Club Lancia Appia – Registro Appia will dedicate the entire booth to this icon of Italian automotive design, displaying two First Series Lancia Appia; 

The Mercedes-Benz 190 SL Club Italia will be celebrating its 30th anniversary, displaying two magnificent Mercedes Benz 190 SL and leaving the exhibition public in the capable hands of its expert technicians, who will be ready to provide detailed explanations about the historic vehicles on exhibit; 

The Club Alfa Romeo Dolomiti, which was set up in 2014 as an independent Alfa Romeo fan club and became one of the official FCA Heritage clubs in 2017, will be taking part along with the Kursaal Car Club, organiser of the Montecatini Terme XV International Concours d'Elegance scheduled to take place on 21st/22nd September 2024.
