Retro Classics Stuttgart 2026: Celebrating 25 Years of Automotive Passion

From 19 to today, 22 February 2026, Retro Classics Stuttgart marked the beginning of the classic car season in Germany. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the fair reaffirmed its position as one of Germany’s most important gatherings for historic automobiles and a true meeting point for collectors, enthusiasts, specialists, and the next generation of petrolheads.

With more than 1,500 national and international exhibitors, Retro Classics presented the entire world of automotive heritage under one roof. Thousands of high-quality classic cars, youngtimers, pre-war rarities, chrome-glazed highway cruisers, historic commercial vehicles and elegant neo-classics filled the halls of Messe Stuttgart. Alongside the cars themselves, visitors discovered restoration experts, spare parts suppliers, accessory specialists and service providers dedicated to preserving automotive history. A rich supporting programme, including special exhibitions, club presentations, vehicle sales platforms and expert forums, completed the experience.
