Techno Classica Essen March 26 - 30 2008.

VIP, Preview day March 26.

20th TECHNO-CLASSICA ESSEN from 26 to 30 March 2008:
The Classic Fair of the Superlatives

The Largest Club Meeting of the World

More than 200 classic car clubs, associations and communities of interests present themselves and their services at the TECHNO-CLASSICA.
Their often complex and imaginative exhibition booths are like individual small special exhibitions. The clubs are offering about 200 shows within the show.

The right to register a club is a basic civil right. According to Article 9 of the constitution "all Germans have the right to establish clubs and associations." Friend of classic cars are meeting to jointly indulge their passion - and once a year they do it the TECHNO-CLASSICA. Finally, this is also granted by the right of assembly.

More than 200 clubs and associations, including more and more from abroad present themselves at the TECHNO-CLASSICA. Most of all are specialised in certain brands or types - and therefore sometimes have more special knowledge than some professionals.

The German classic car clubs have established the classic scene in this country, have made it socially acceptable and presentable and helped to give it today's importance. This commitment of the active volunteers is supported by S.I.H.A. Ausstellungen Promotion, the organiser of the fair: the clubs are participating in Essen since the first TECHNO-CLASSICA in the year 1989 - and special assignment and ingenuity in decoration of the stands is rewarded by the TECHNO-CLASSICA-organiser in a Club Grand Prix. The clubs with the most imaginative exhibition stands are evaluated by an independent jury from the club scene and will receive bonuses of up to € 2,500 for the club funds.

The clubs again benefit from the attraction of the TECHNO-CLASSICA: it is the largest forum for profiling for them. It serves for the generation of new members and at the same time as news exchange. Next to joint car trips, annual meetings and coming together at a regular's table, the TECHNO-CLASSICA is the most important meeting point of the clubs.
