InterClassics Maastricht 2025 attracts record number of visitors

InterClassics Maastricht 2025

On the exhibition floor of InterClassics Maastricht 2025, the 300 vintage car dealers displayed various rare cars from brands such as Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini from all eras. Also offered were oldtimer-related products and services such as parts, clothing and touring. Judging from the many “sold” signs, many a car changed hands.

30th anniversary

The fair marked its 30th anniversary. The organization presented 21 classics – selected in advance by visitors. On Friday, the expert jury named a 1940 Tatra Type 87 as “Best of Show. Visitors with racing affinity visited the sister event Sim Formula Europe. Here they could put the latest simulation technology to the test and watch professional sim racers in action.

Exhibition manager Erik Panis looks back on a successful anniversary with satisfaction: “Year on year we see the quality rising, with this anniversary edition as the highlight. We also see a clear growth in international visitors. European car collectors are now finding their way to Maastricht. This makes InterClassics Maastricht one of the top European classic car fairs.”

Cozy fair

The car dealers are also looking back a positive fair. The Naarden-based Cool Classic Club has become a fixture on the show floor. Owner Robbert Buijs says: “Our company has been around for seven years and since its inception we have participated in InterClassics Maastricht. Since then we haven’t skipped a single edition, in Brussels we are also present. It is a friendly fair where we meet many acquaintances and make new contacts. Sales are not our main objective but of course it’s nice!”

Familiar faces

Among the many visitors were several familiar faces from the automotive world, including former Formula 1 driver Giedo van der Garde. It was his first visit to InterClassics Maastricht but certainly not his last: “The classics here bring back great memories. For example, I won the TT at Goodwood with a 1962 AC Cobra. It is always nice to see such cars again.”
