Since 1989

Home to Clubs & Interest Groups

Classic car clubs have been part of Techno Classica since its very first edition in 1989, when 70 clubs joined 255 exhibitors. They represent the passion and dedication at the heart of the automotive scene — from iconic manufacturers to rare marques and specific model communities. S.I.H.A. has traditionally offered free exhibition space to clubs not affiliated with manufacturers, making Techno Classica Salon a unique stage for enthusiast communities.

Club Grand Prix

Every year, the Club Grand Prix awards prizes for the most imaginative and creative stand designs. As a partner of FIVA — the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens — Techno Classica represents more than 1.5 million classic car enthusiasts across 60 countries.
