Half a hundred classic cars will meet at the 13th Marbella Antique Vehicle Exhibition

Marbella will host the thirteenth edition of the 'City of Marbella' Antique Vehicle Exhibition, an event that will take place on the 26th and 27th of September. The event will gather collectors and enthusiasts from all over Spain, featuring more than 45 historic cars, some over 100 years old. The program will start on Friday the 26th, at 09:30 AM, with a route from the Paloma Blanca Hotel to the Serranía de Ronda. In the evening, at 8:00 PM, the official presentation of the cars will take place on the boulevard of San Pedro Alcántara, with an urban tour that includes Avenida Pablo Ruiz Picasso, Calle Marqués del Duero, and other central streets.

On Saturday the 27th, the cars will depart from the hotel heading towards Marbella, passing through Nueva Andalucía and Puerto Banús. At 11:30 AM, they will enter the urban center via the AP-7 and will head to the Paseo Marítimo, where they will be displayed in front of the Hotel El Fuerte for the public to enjoy.

The deputy mayor of San Pedro, Javier García, highlighted during the presentation in San Pedro Alcántara, that "this exhibition has become a classic in September and represents much more than a car show, becoming a manifestation of love for the history of motor, mechanics, and collecting, which is passed from generation to generation." He also pointed out the tourist and cultural dimension of the event, which covers strategic enclaves of the municipality and attracts visitors from different parts of the country.

The event will feature a Ford A from the 1920s and classics from brands such as Rolls Royce, Lincoln, Mercedes, or Jaguar

For his part, the president of the Historic Vehicles Club of the Costa del Sol, José Luis Arredondo, detailed that "the exhibition will include models prior to 1965, featuring centenary units like a Ford A from the 1920s, classics from brands such as Rolls Royce, Lincoln, Mercedes, or Jaguar, many of them convertibles and hard to see outside of such gatherings."

Arredondo highlighted that "it is one of the highest quality routes in Andalusia due to the age and state of conservation of the vehicles." The event promoter also emphasized the participatory nature of the exhibition. According to Pepe Romero, a member of the organizing committee, "we expect a large turnout of local residents, as this is a unique opportunity to enjoy true gems of the motor world in a family-friendly and festive atmosphere." He also thanked the support of the City Council and collaborating entities that allow "to bring forward an event that gains in impact each year," he emphasized.
