Classic Gala Schwetzingen 2024

Writer's picture: Alfred BauerAlfred Bauer

This year marked the 20th edition of the Concours and so we decided to put some additional effort in to support this last, true concours in Germany. We opted for a larger tent with a veranda and brought ten cars along, three of which were listed in the concours.


This is what we had on display:

  • 2017 Ligier JS P217 (es Le Mans, the successor of the LMP2)

  • 2009 Ferrari 430 GTC

  • 1981 Porsche 924 GTR

  • 1962 Merlyn Mk IV

  • 1962 Ferrari 250 GTE Series II

  • 1956 Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS Worblaufen Convertible

  • 1948 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Pinin Farina Convertible

  • 1942 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Pinin Farina 2-seater Convertible

  • 1923 Alfa Romeo RL

  • 1956 Citroen "Kastenwagen"


It was a great weekend with many new encounters. Since we shared our tent with our friends from the Talbot-Lago Club and the Maserati 5000 GT registry (Nico Maier), we enjoyed some additional contacts.


Nico brought a De Tomaso Vallelunga and a Talbot Lago T 14, so alltogether, we had quite a line-up. For of the cars were awarded best in their class. (Worblaufen, 142 6C 2500, Vallelunga and T14)


As usual, we were very lucky with the weather. Not a single drop of rain over the whole weekend. The downside was that the extreme temperatures of up to 34 degrees Celsius made a number of people stay away, so, in comparison to previous years, the a number of visitors appeared to be a little lower.


Anyway, it was a lot of fun and a georgeous weekend. We are very much looking forward to next year's edition.


Many thanks to Annette and Andreas Goinar for their excellent pictures. See below. Theirs are the ones that look professional, the others were taken by myself...
