If you are at all interested in Classic and Specialist Cars, make sure you are headed to Alicante’s IFA (Institución Ferial Alicante) fairground, beside the Airport this weekend for ‘Antic Auto’, the region’s largest Classic, Vintage and Specialist Car and Bike show. The show runs from Friday through Sunday from 10:30-hrs until 20:30 with early closing on Sunday at 19:00 hrs.
This is the seventh year of the show and even in times of crises, the show promises to have something for everyone. You’ll find cars and bikes for sale, motorcycles and spare parts, clubs and associations, magazines specialized agencies and institutions; insurance companies, toys, antique and collectors' items, clothing and accessories plus custom made items.
One of the great attractions of the show is a collection of cars from private collections
in Spain. For those with classic or older cars, APPLUS shall also be located in the car park conducting reviews of vehicles, which can be of great benefit if you have the ITV coming up and would like to know what areas of your car, if any, might need a little help!
The show is organised by Club de Coches Clasicos Populares de Alicante and Asociación Coches de Epoca. Torrevieja Classics and Specialists Cars shall also be visiting the show along with many other local clubs from the region. Last year the show attracted over 12,000 visitors and our ‘tip of the day’; if you like to visit the show when it is less busy, do so during the typical Spanish lunch and siesta hours! Parking is free and within the exhibition centre you’ll also find a café, banking and other facilities.
The IFA is located at km 731 on N-340 state highway going from Alicante to Elche and only a few minutes away from "El Altet" International Airport. There is direct access to IFA at exit 72 of the A-7 highway going from Alicante to Murcia. There is an entrance charge but the best value for money can be obtained by purchasing a €20 IFA Card, which grants you access to 12-months worth of activities at the IFA. With the Lifestyle Show, Fir Auto, Mother and Baby, Exhibition of Furniture, Bridal and Celebrations, Tourism, Tuning Cars, Expo Car and others all planned for 2010, it’s great value for money.
