We would like to start by welcoming our new friends from Denmark, Holland, Sweden and Norway! We have now introduced a basic Google translation of this page - see above. The translation tool has a habit of changing the page formatting. We are also following British car events in France and hope to join them soon. April marks the start of the road season and many plans are being made, in the months before. The first indoor shows start in February. October is the end of the classic car season, in many lands. We will be reporting from a number of classic car shows in 2019 and will be taking part in organised tours, some of which you can take part in, with your car. See our Facebook pages for more information and below, for our trips to Denmark and the photos

SHORT REPORTS

February 2019

We visited the first event of the year, not far from where we are. The Bremen Classic Motorshow. An impressive start to the season and our 7th visit to the show, in an eight year period. The car theme this year, was shooting brakes and estate cars! Our photo reports are now online, via Facebook. Thanks to the press team for their help, the printed information in English and even digitally on an USB stick. Professional work throughout. The museum in Beaulieu, UK was also represented, which was a welcome surprise.

Red carpet rolled out for classic estate cars and shooting brakes

Press text ©: Bremen Classic Motorshow 2019 showcases rare models, paragons of style and one-offs:

For many years, the estate cars in vehicle model families were regarded as dull work horses: they were neglected, worn out, forgotten. They were Cinderella to their sisters with sedan, coupé and convertible bodies, which became well-loved classics. Today, with their survival rate close to zero, the classic car scene has finally realised their charms: maximum rarity with the highest utility value - a combination making some classic estate cars the most desirable models of all. Another good reason for fans to roll out the red carpet for this newly discovered species is the upcoming Bremen Classic Motorshow. Running from Friday 1 to Sunday 3 February 2019, at Messe Bremen, they will feature in the traditional special exhibition. "The highlight this year is the Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Brake. Only twelve were ever built, and it's better known as James Bond's legendary company car," says Frank Ruge, Bremen Classic Motorshow's Project Manager.
Fans were uninterested in the practical car class for decades, so few people even know what their generic name is. Estate is the short name for estate cars (in German "Kombinationskraftwagen". The emphasis is on "nation" when it comes to the purpose of these car-lorry hybrids. This is because estate car culture was once as different in each country as language and currency. The Bremen special exhibition "Kombi-Nationen" showcases the incredible international spectrum of estate car bodies for the first time.
In Germany, people used to refer to them as "caravans", and the estate was reserved for workmen and small businesses for a long time. It was only from the 1960s that we discovered the estate car's use as a sturdy family and holiday vehicle. This evolution only gathered speed much later, from 1978 on, with the T-Model built by Mercedes-Benz in Bremen.
Across the Atlantic however, in the US, the station wagon was used from the start just for getting the family around. In France and Italy, on the other hand, civilian and official box-tail classics lived side-by-side from the start, as reflected in model names like the "Familiale", "Commerciale" and "Giardiniera". That last name means 'gardener', showing how it defined the main target market for Italian commercial estate cars.
What about the Brits? They called them estate cars, meaning noble freighters for the dignified country estate. One strange exception to this was the "shooting brake". This sports car had a converted estate chassis to let you cart off your trophy kills in style - the Aston Martin DB5 shooting brake was the king of this subspecies. The special exhibition will also feature twelve
fascinating classic estates, including a few that even die-hard fans may not have heard of - for example the Fiat 130 Familiale (1972) or the Volvo 850 TWR BTCC (1994). These exotic beasts, paragons of style and one-offs will certainly impress visitors to the 17th Bremen Classic Motorshow, who get to see these old estate cars through fresh eyes.
Due to construction work around the exhibition grounds, the organizers recommend you use the Park & Ride car park at Bremen Airport. Show visitors can park in car park 1. The satnav address is "Fitzmauricestrasse, 28199 Bremen". Parking a car costs 7 euros for the day. This includes the roughly 15-minute tram ride to Messe Bremen for everyone in the car.
The Bremen Classic Motorshow runs from Friday to Sunday, 1 to 3 February 2019 in all halls at Messe Bremen plus the Hall 8 modular unit. The halls are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. A day pass costs 16 Euros.

BILLMESSE & Brugtmarked | We hope to be in Denmark again in April and/or October. The Retro Show takes place in Frederecia. https://www.bilmesse-brugtmarked.dk/.

Reportedly, it is for sale. We are waiting for details.

Britisk Motor Show 2018 - The second event, in Denmark. We were there, for the first time and hope to be there again next year. A great show and we were made very welcome. Facebook images: Album 1 / Album 2.

We have already started planning for the 2020 event and we are looking at a meeting in Hamburg, Germany, before we all set off to visit the event, with up to 20 classic British cars. We might split the journey in two, by stopping overnight in Middelfart/Frederecia, Denmark and could meet some people in Flensburg. The direct route to the event, looks like this > click here.
