GALLERY: Inside Dusseldorf’s Vintage Car Mecca, Classic Remise

A few months ago I dropped by Berlin’s Classic Remise/automotive mecca with a pal only to have my mind blown by what was such a purely genius concept: a converted train depot filled to the gills with classic car storage and brokerage. It was wall to wall, almost overwhelming. It could easily serve Germany in its entirety, but no: the Germans demand more.

Lo and behold, Düsseldorf’s Classic Remise. It’s virtually the same product, just in a different location with different, yet equally beautiful cars. I snapped around as I normally do and thought I’d put a little gallery together for you. Enjoy!

I was there last year, it’s fantastic, however focused on car trade, rather than exhibition. There are plenty of unique models in fantastic condition, most of them Porsches as they peak in value day by day. But you can also find Alfas, DeTomasos or Lancias. Worth visiting.

Beautiful place, but it was called Meilenwerk when I was there in 2011.

I went there a couple of months ago when I asked Tourist Info if there were any car museums around. It was a short bus ride away and a fantastic opportunity to see around 200 fantastic classics, including an Aston Zagato casually parked outside. It was all based around a quadrant with various specialist garages on the outside including, Alfa’s, Citroens, Porsches, Facel Vega, etc. There was also a two level storage facility for owners cars, these included; VW XL1, loads of 911’s, E30 M3, CSL’s, Alfa 8C’s, F40’s, Z8’s. An onsite Ducati, Vespa garage. This was all free in a great nostalgic setting. Worth a visit if your in the area.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Porsche make the best looking non American cars in general. The rest of this stuff is just ugly. Maybe a few Alphas look good but the rest is ugly.

” a purely genius concept: a converted train depot filled to the gills with classic car storage and brokerage ”

1) Its been done before .. many times .. including right here in the Mile High City

and

2) Haven’t y’all already done a story ( or two ) on this ? If not you then somebody most certainly has .. and considering this is the only classic car site I come to … god knows who that might be .

Regardless though … a place worthy of revisiting any number of times
