2020 Edition

Cars and celebrities, a fascinating combination that takes shape in the exhibition dedicated to vintage cars that belonged to great personalities of the past. Unique and valuable pieces enriched by the history of those who owned or drove them.

Show dedicated to the FORMULA JUNIOR curated by Minardi Day, Scuderia Tazio Nuvolari Italia, Registro Storico Lucchini, Museo Tazio Nuvolari and Aci Storico.

The ‘FORMULA JUNIOR’ introduced in 1958 by Count Giovanni Lurani as a training category continues to this day, representing an economic solution for competition activity. It’s one of the most numerous categories, and indeed F3 and the Formula Ford are later derivations of it! Let us not forget that the Junior category started life here in Italy, and that’s why we are presenting the motoring public with these wonderful Formula Junior vehicles, also to highlight the great cultural heritage represented by some forty Italian constructors who set out to produce these training formula models.

On 24 June 2020, the Alfa Romeo brand will celebrate its 110^th anniversary. To mark the event, some examples of the Milanese company will be exhibited in gallery together with testimonials, iconographic material and videos. The exhibition is held in collaboration with the great collector Mario Righini and the Alfa Romeo Historical Museum of Arese.

Modena Motor Gallery wants to give its own contribution and pay a tribute to the work of the craftsman. Around the perimeter of Pavilion A,  the “Craftsmen’s Path” will be set up: more than 30 of the finest companies in the country, including body shops, upholsterers, mechanics, electricians and restorers.

Who lies behind all the splendour of a classic car that looks like it just left the factory 50 years ago? The answer is simple: the craftsmen.

Competent and highly skilled individuals who, with great passion and a huge baggage of knowledge, rebuild a single mudguard, tirelessly hunting down original pieces through dozens of markets, preparing the best possible paint, reconnecting hundreds of rusty, time-worn cables in order to restore an electrical system back to its former glory, and seeking out the finest fabrics to bring back the shine to the old upholstery, or even going about beating pieces of sheet metal by hand, as was done so many years ago.

Also this year, as is traditional, Modena Motor Gallery provides a large space of honour for the craftsmen of the sector. It’s also thanks to their intuitions and their skill that the Modenese Motor Valley has acquired ever more prestige and has become one of the points of excellence of the territory. Through their great savoir faire, the classic cars and motorcycles may be given the sheen and youthful spirit of yesteryear. This is why they have a place of such importance, and the craftsmen are always given a large space inside the car dealers pavilion.
