Spring VETERAMA 2019Start of the Season on the HockenheimringNice spring weather and a sold-out event ensured a top atmosphere at this year’s spring VETERAMA on the Hockenheimring. After seven years the spring event approaches the dimension of the fall event in MannheimFor visitors who arrived with a classic or vintage car (minimum 25 years old) the VETERAMA show arena offered an impressive and prestigious area to present their cars. The owners were in the midst of activities and could stow away their “VETERAMA bargains” directly into their trunks. This year, more than 500 vehicles were on display in this show arena.Intense activity could also be observed at the VETERAMA depot. There, parts that had been purchased during the day could be stored until the evening and be picked up just before leaving the event site.A few empty spaces were seen at the VETERAMA marketplace. Some more than the about 100 vehicles offered for sale could have been displayed. Here are some price examples of the vehicles on sale:Hanomag Garant cabrio limousine from 1935, beautifully restored, for 20,000 €Triumph sports cabriolet BJ, a 2-seater from 1949 in mint condition, for 49,000 €Ford Mustang BJ, red, from 1972 in good original state, for 19,000 €Audi Quattro Coupé from 1992 in its original state, for 28,900 €.Somewhat off seemed the price that was asked for a VW Westfalia T1 Camper at 85,000 €. A silver Mercedes-Benz 200E W124 cabriolet was on sale for 12,490 €, directly besides a green W124 Coupé in perfect condition for 8,900 €. If one was willing to invest some labour, you could acquire the same model for 2,800 € a little bit further away. Pretty inexpensive was a coral red NSU Prinz from 1971, which was priced at 5,700 €.Traditionally however, the VETERAMA Hockenheim is very motorcycle friendly. Again and again you will find engines, that are “the dreams of real men”. Whether Harley Indian, Moto Guzzi, BMW, Zündapp, DKW, NSU, Horex: all of the most famous brands, some of which are history in itself, were present at this year’s spring event. And especially interesting is the fact that maybe at the neighbouring stand you can find the corresponding spare parts, if necessary.In the boxes, too, where at other occasions the HP bolides are prepared for the start, some specialities could be seen besides the vendors of “noble materials”. The team presented three gigantic dragsters, and round about the VETERAMA club lounge, where visitors relaxed during fuel talks with the club managers, it was very busy. The list of clubs which presented some very exceptional vehicles ranged from A like Adler to Z like Zündapp.Well now, we see you again on the second weekend in October 2019 at this year’s fall event at VETERAMA Mannheim. ................
