VICENZA CLASSIC CAR SHOW 2026: PASSION TAKES SHAPE BETWEEN HISTORY AND INNOVATION

A visit from the Collezionismo Auto editorial team

The editorial team of Collezionismo Auto visited the third edition of the Vicenza Classic Car Show, held in Vicenza from March 27 to 29, 2026, finding an event in full growth and increasingly central to the national scene. From the moment we entered, the impression was of an event capable of combining authentic passion, high-quality exhibition standards, and an informed audience, composed not only of expert collectors but also many young enthusiasts.

A journey through legendary icons and exclusive previews

A unique atmosphere could be felt throughout the halls, where the charm of historic cars engaged in dialogue with the most anticipated newcomers. From legendary supercars like the Ferrari F40, Jaguar XJ220, and Lamborghini Countach, to the most recent previews such as the Lotus Emira V6 and the hybrid Corvette E-Ray, the fair offered a comprehensive narrative of automotive evolution. Particularly evocative was the exhibition dedicated to the Lamborghini Miura, celebrated on its 60th anniversary as an absolute icon of design and engineering.

The heart of collecting beats in Vicenza

One of the elements that most impressed our editorial team was the commercial dynamism that animated the entire event. Alongside official stands and international auction houses, a rich selection of collector vehicles, vintage accessories, and original spare parts stood out. This context facilitated the meeting of supply and demand, making the fair a concrete reference point for the industry market.

Motoring culture and industry leaders

Not just an exhibition, but content: meetings, talks, and celebrations enriched the program, offering moments of in-depth analysis on the history and future of motoring. The tribute to Sandro Munari was moving, as was the presence of prominent figures and institutional representatives, testifying to the cultural and social value of the event.

An audience of protagonists, increasingly aware

What emerges strongly is the central role of the public, the true protagonist of the event. Attendance was high and qualitatively significant, with visitors who are increasingly informed and interested not only in aesthetics but also in the history and value of the cars on display. This is a clear sign of how car collecting is evolving toward a more mature and conscious dimension.

The appointment is already set for 2027, with the certainty that the event will continue to grow, consolidating its role within the European landscape of the sector.
