Techno-Classica 2013: Gallery of owners' club cars
Despite all the pomp and ceremony of the new car manufacturers, and the glitz of the major dealers, it must never be forgotten that Techno-Classica is primarily an owners' club event.
In 2013, 230 owners' clubs gathered at Messe Essen, many displaying some wonderful themed stands - and a large selection of rare and desirable cars. Here is our pick of the 10 HJClassics favourites from Germany. Some are valuable, some strange, some extremely rare. All, however, are interesting.
Perhaps the weirdest 1980s car of the show was this Ariba-converted Audi 200 5T, which would easily have been the fastest camper for two available at the time.The Audi's inline-five developed 170bhp, and in saloon form at least, with a manual gearbox, could sprint from 0-60mph in a mere 7.5 seconds.
Wonder what effect the roof-mounted living quarters would have on the aerodynamics, and how much would be chipped off its 125mph?
