Retro Classics world of classic automobiles 2013
The 13th Stuttgart-based Retro Classics motor trade fair held in the trade fair center next door to the airport for the sixth time finished with a record result. With around 77,000 visitors, the outstanding result of last years was topped by nearly 20 percent. From an exhibitor perspective, trade fair attendance was higher than in 2012 with 1308 exhibitors and around 3000 vehicles on display this year. The space it needs now takes up the entire available trade fair center with an area of 100,000 square meters plus the trade fair piazza and therefore uses all the available capacity.
Additionally, the internationality of Stuttgart's Retro Classics has increased as proven by the numbers of visitors, exhibitors and approximately 700 journalists (2012: 618) from around 20 countries. Exhibitors came, for instance, from Austria, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy and the Netherlands, whilst visitors traveled from Switzerland, Austria, the USA, the Czech Republic, France and the Benelux countries. Guests from Poland, the Emirates, Great Britain, Norway, Finland, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Sweden, Hungary, Italy, South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, Korea and China were also welcomed at the stands in the eight trade fair halls. A total of approximately 11 percent of international visitors were registered, thereby approximately doubling the figure from last year.
