Witnessed a Classic car rally during my visit to Germany

The owners were “dressed on-point” and what warms the heart is the effort that they make, to bring that whole classic and vintage ambience alive.

BHPian shankar.balan recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

This was the last bit of our recent trip. We had gone along to Triberg in the Black Forest because we wanted to visit the pretty little town and buy a Cuckoo Clock as a gift from there for a family member.

We based ourselves in Baden-Baden which used to be a famous and fashionable Spa town in the 1800’s and 1900’s. Like Bath in England and Spa in Belgium. Today it is a town largely composed of well-to-do, retired folk who live there and the tourists/ travellers who form the floating population.

Anyway, when we were there, there was a classic car gathering and we got to see and enjoy quite a few of those beauties just walking about and sitting by the sidewalk in a cafe!

There are a number of such Classic Car events year-round, in Baden-Baden.

Truly, some of the cars we saw there, were simply gorgeous classics. The owners were “dressed on-point” and what warms the heart is the effort that they make, to bring that whole classic and vintage ambience alive.

The cars ranged from a Fiat Balilla to an MG TC, a lovely Lancia, and the Mighty Mercedes BMW and Porsche! We didn’t catch the whole event, but what we caught, is here!

Enjoy the view! There are only a few photos, but they are a feast for the eyes.
