26-27 APRIL 2008 : BELGIUM´S LARGEST CLASSIC CAR SHOW AT MECHELEN: DREAMCAR INTERNATIONAL IN THE NEKKERHAL

OPENING OF THE MOTORSHOW PEUGEOT 1975 BY MISS BELGIUM

Dreamcar International means not only Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Porsche, but also Opel Manta B, Fiat, Trabant, Cadillac and became after 24 editions Belgium’s largest classic car show in Belgium.

Since 1990 Dreamcar International has held its fair in the Nekkerhal in Mechelen. This gigantic hall, with its modern architecture and vast 20.000 m2 floor area, provides the ideal setting for exhibiting the finest cars from the twentieth century. In addition to playing host to Dreamcar International, the gigantic Nekkerhal also provides a venue for the Dreamcar Trophy. The Nekkerhal provides a setting which has enabled the fair to expand rapidly. In 1990 the fair covered a floor area of 7400 m2. Two years later, this floor area had doubled, and Dreamcar International has meanwhile expanded to become the largest classic car show in Belgium.

From the sparse information which has been leaked about the plans of the clubs, who understandably try to keep their ideas secret for as long as possible, only clubs which have dreamed up extremely original ideas really stand a chance of winning. It is also not always necessary to exhibit a Ferrari or a Lamborghini in order to convince a prospective owner that a much more modest car can be his/her car of a life-time/dream car.

One can honestly say that a visit to the stands of the clubs who endeavour to win the "Dreamcar Trophy" is more than worthwhile. In addition to this, you can also view the 300 classic cars which are for sale, or visit the many stands devoted to spare parts, books, magazines, brochures, model cars, information about restoration, and automobilia.

This edition of Dreamcar International once again offers a sample of some of the most beautiful cars in one century of car history. From Ferrari to Ford Mustang, from Jaguar to MG, from Rolls Royce to VW, from Aston Martin to Trabant, from Mercedes to Opel GT… and now also the Motor Show 1975 with Peugeot. 22 Peugeot cars: 104-204-304-404-504-604 and on Sunday this stand will be opened by Miss Belgium.
40 years of Opel GT, 40 years of Volvo 145/164 and it is also 25 years ago it was the end for Datsun.
