October brings together collectors and trade operators around historic cars and motorcycles in Bologna. For suppliers of spare parts, restorers and dealers, the 2026 edition requires a clear plan to convert visits into commercial opportunities.
Dates and venue for Auto e Moto D’Epoca 2026
Auto e Moto D’Epoca 2026 runs from 22 to 25 October 2026 at the Bologna Exhibition Centre. BolognaFiere appears as the fair operator and Intermeeting S.r.l handles the event secretariat. Use the official floorplan and exhibitor list to map your presence across the halls.
Key figures to size your presence
The Salone publishes figures from the 2025 edition that help estimate scale. In 2025 the event occupied 235000 square metres across 13 pavilions. There were over 7000 cars and motorcycles on display and for sale and 14500 parking spaces. These metrics affect stand visibility and the distribution of buyers by category.
Thematic routes and exhibitor profiles
The show is organised into four thematic routes. There are paths for automobile traders and restorers, a motorcycle route, a section called Tra Cultura e Passione and an area for Spares Modelmaking and Automobilia. This layout helps position an offer according to target buyers. Recent additions include Prestige Bikes and curated displays such as Icons of Speed.
Practical steps to prepare B2B prospecting
Define priority routes for your targets. If you sell spare parts, focus on the Spares Modelmaking and Automobilia route and prepare technical catalogues, parts reference lists and high resolution photos for identification. Vehicle sellers and restorers should bring restoration records and client profiles by make and era.
Schedule meetings in advance using the exhibitor index and plan which team members handle technical queries and which drive commercial negotiation. Bring boxed sample parts ready for shipment and consider packaged offers that combine parts with restoration services to appeal to professional buyers.
Recent activities that indicate programme focus
Recent press items highlight collaborations and shows that shape the 2026 agenda. Notable mentions include hosting European Corvette Day, the partnership with InterClassics Brussels and guest appearances such as Thierry Boutsen in 2025. Exhibitions like Icons of Speed and the Italian Motorcycle Championship with Custom Bike Show underline the mix of collecting and spectacle.
Closing recommendation and official reference
For companies targeting the historic motor market, segment your offer by route and secure meeting slots before the fair to avoid ad hoc interruptions.
