Intro
Starting in early September, the Auto Moto Classic show in Toulouse featured a fine selection of cars (and motorcycles) organized around several themed exhibits.
This show continues to grow every year, as does Epoqu’auto Lyon, which has announced its program for a three-day celebration in early November. Still on the topic of classic auto shows, Rétromobile Paris (February 3–7, 2027) has unveiled its poster and one of the stars of the show, the Volvo P1800. This growth, combined with strong attendance at automotive museums and exhibitions (for example, more than 73,000 visitors in Monaco), attests to a passion for automotive heritage that remains as strong as ever.
Autoworld in Brussels is celebrating its 40th anniversary with a retrospective exhibition and numerous future projects.
Formula 1 is among the recurring exhibition themes, with the traveling exhibition that opened in Singapore, the showcase of the Ferrari-England rivalry at the National Automobile Museum in Turin, and, of course, the exhibition at the National Automobile Museum in Mulhouse, which runs through November 1.
