From 26 to 28 February, the Padua Exhibition Centre will host Padova Only Classic 2027, a major event dedicated to historic cars and motorcycles.
Over three days, collectors, restorers, dealers, clubs, and enthusiasts will gather in a city deeply connected to automotive heritage.
Padua is not just a location. It is a reference point for classic motoring culture in Europe.
This event celebrates vehicles that shaped technology, design, and society. These are not just machines — they are living witnesses of industrial creativity, craftsmanship, and human passion.
Visiting Padova Only Classic 2027 means entering a world where history is preserved, restored, and still driven today.
A show dedicated to genuine classics
Padova Only Classic 2027 has a clear identity: only historic vehicles built between 1886 and 1977 are admitted.
This means every car and motorcycle on display is at least 50 years old.
This strict selection creates a focused and high-quality experience.
Visitors will discover:
- Early automotive pioneers from the late 19th century
- Iconic pre-war engineering milestones
- Post-war sports and GT legends
- Everyday cars that shaped modern mobility
The 1977 cut-off ensures authenticity and historical coherence.
For collectors, it is a specialist marketplace.
For newcomers, it is a clear and accessible journey into automotive history.
Eight halls at the Padua Exhibition Centre
The event takes place across eight exhibition halls:
1, 3, 4, 5, 5B, 11, 14, 15
Together, they form a complete route through:
- Historic vehicles
- Restoration workshops
- Spare parts suppliers
- Clubs and institutions
- Collectibles and automobilia
Padua has a long tradition in the classic vehicle world.
For decades, it has hosted meetings, exchanges, and major events.
This new edition strengthens that legacy.
Its location — close to the train station and city centre — also makes it ideal for a weekend visit combining culture, food, and heritage.
