Motorclássico Show, dedicated to the world of classic vehicles, returns to the Cordoaria Nacional in Lisbon on 20, 21 and 22 March.
The event will bring together more than one hundred exhibitors from several countries across the five pavilions and outdoor areas of the Cordoaria Nacional. These range from commercial entities — selling cars, motorcycles, books, memorabilia and collectible parts — to institutional bodies such as clubs, associations and museums, making Motorclássico Show an event not only for classic vehicle enthusiasts, but also for the general public.
As is tradition, the event will mark a wide range of anniversaries that have shaped the history of mobility. Highlights include the 80th anniversary of the iconic Vespa, a symbol of Italy’s post-war industrial reconstruction; the 75th anniversary of the Toyota Land Cruiser, a benchmark of robustness and reliability in the off-road world; and the 60th anniversary of the revolutionary Lamborghini Miura, the model that defined the modern supercar concept.
These are joined by the 50th anniversary of the Ford Fiesta, a key example of the democratisation of the compact car in Europe; the 40th anniversary of the landmark BMW M3 E30, born from motorsport and elevated to an icon of driving purity; as well as the celebration of 40 years of the Citroën AX, a protagonist of rational and efficient mobility in the 1980s. Together, these anniversaries reflect different eras, philosophies and technical responses to the needs of their time.
The Motorclássico Show programme will also include the Motor Talks, featuring interviews with historical figures and specialists from the field, as well as the traditional classic car drives and gatherings, and other activities. Among these, the Cinema Jornal dos Clássicos will stand out, with continuous screenings throughout the three days of the event. Confirmed book launches include “Edfor – Do sonho à desilusão” by José Barros Rodrigues, and “Ferrari 1947–1972, 25 Anos de Glória”, the posthumous work of João Carmo Santos, which will be presented at Salão Motorclássico by José Barros Rodrigues himself.
Tickets are already on sale and can be purchased with a 17% discount for a limited period.
Motorclássico Show is organised by Museu do Caramulo, with the support of Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, Turismo de Lisboa, Fidelidade, RTP, Antena 1, Jornal dos Clássicos, Speedflag and Banco BPI | Fundação la Caixa.
