2019 Techno Classic report and 190-shot gallery ...
Last week, the vast Messe Essen exhibition centre hosted the 31st annual Techno Classica. The traditional reminder that a Porsche 911 or Mercedes-Benz 300 are not rare cars, the 2019 edition attracted an impressive 190,000 visitors from 46 different countries. They were treated to 1,250 exhibitors, who had a startling different 2,700 collector cars on display. Among the highlights of this year's Techno Classica was a display of all Mercedes-Benz C111 versions, a rare Audi R10 for sale and the spectacular 1933 Mille Miglia class winning Alfa Romeo 6C 1750. New for the 2019 show as a RM Sotheby's sale with well over 200 cars crossing the block in the company's first ever sale on German soil. Grabbing the most attention was a pair of Lancia Group B road cars that sold for twice their estimate.
As always, we were on the show floor for a good hike to capture all the highlights. The result is this concise report that is illustrated by this 190-shot gallery.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
