PRESS INFORMATION
Now in its thirtieth year the Antwerp Classic Salon is all set to be the best event yet.
The theme for the 2007 show is Renault and will feature some of the most outstanding and rare cars ever built. UK Rolls Royce dealers Frank Dale & Stepsons and Bramley will be attending the show along with LMB who will have some mouth-watering pre-war cars such as Lagonda and Riley. The variety of cars on display is outstanding with Jaguar, MG, Ferrari and Mercedes being well represented. The Antwerp show always brings a varied selection of American cars with Cadillacs and Packards of the thirties through to the Chevys and Fords of the fifties and sixties.
Nearly three hundred and fifty exhibitors from about ten countries will be offering classic cars, motorbikes, spare parts and services at Antwerp. Nearly fifty companies from the UK will be present. Spare parts suppliers will include Moto-Build. Literature collectors will be catered for by Chaters and Artco. Over 200 stands will feature new and used parts, accessories, interior trim, rare literature, automobilia, models, curiosities and art objects, all with the theme of veteran, vintage and classic cars.
One section that will appeal to some of the new enthusiasts of classic cars will be the hall with a selection of cars for sale under €10,000.
The Antwerp show is the prime event for many Belgian clubs and they produce some outstanding displays in their pursuit of prizes in the National Club stand and Concours d'Elegance awards. Approximately fifty clubs will create some very professional stands in their efforts to secure first prize in the competition which is €1250!! In addition to judging the club stands the international jury will select the best cars from the 300 offered by the dealers for prizes in four categories. The prize-giving will take place at 12.00 on Sunday 4th March.
