Auto Zürich
Wednesday, June 5, 2024
The term youngtimer is not officially defined, but has now become established as a term for cars that are older than 20 years but do not yet have the status of a vintage car. Today, they are attracting more and more enthusiasts - especially in the under-35 age group. For many people, the car is not just a utility object, but should also appeal aesthetically and emotionally. For them, the car is both a means of transport and an expression of their own sense of style.
From 2024, the trade fair will be supplemented with another new module, the Auto Zürich U35, which is aimed specifically at the target group described above. The focus is on youngtimers in the price segment below CHF 35,000 and preferably no older than 35 years.
Youngtimers are a relatively new collecting area that has only gained importance in recent years. Roughly speaking, the collectors' scene includes vehicles from the 1970s to the 1990s and even younger ones, as long as they have the status of a "collector's item".
For many enthusiasts, these vehicles represent a good compromise between classic looks and technically solid equipment. In addition, in many cases there is a guaranteed supply of spare parts. This means that they can usually be used as everyday cars without restrictions.
As far as the year of manufacture is concerned, the age limit, which can be derived from the designation Auto Zürich U35, is initially a kind of guide. Our aim here is more to create a forum that can help to develop a relatively easily accessible entry into the world of car collecting in this youngtimer market. That is why the price is actually the decisive factor for us; here we consistently set the upper limit at CHF 35,000.
At the same time, we are creating a clear distinction from Auto Zürich CLASSIC, whose portfolio has always been comparatively sophisticated since its foundation and will remain so.
