The Automoto d’Epoca show (Oct 24-26) covers ten halls of the Fiera Di Padova (Padova Fair ground). The halls are stuffed with one make car clubs, event stands and dozens of local classic car clubs. The factories of Alfa Romeo, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW and Volvo also have a strong presence at the show, showing heritage models mixed in with their latest, but it is the halls and outside avenues containing cars for sale which will really grab your attention and wallet. When was the last time you saw a Fiat 125 Vignale Eveline for sale? There was a white one just outside hall 7. A Fiat 2300 Ghia coupe? Three for sale. In moments of madness I often fancy a Lancia Thema 8.32, I had two to choose from and I am sure there were more. You need parts, two halls full of parts sellers. A tidbit for your Topolino ? No problem, A grommet for your Gamma? How many do you need? Just don’t expect to find that missing bit for your Morris Minor. If I had any money I would have blown the lot and then needed a car transporter to carry my purchases home. Below are about 24 photos so keep em scrolling.
