“Bringing a piece of past times back to today.” It is a theme that the organizers of one of the nicest old-timer events in the Netherlands like to bring to the publicity and to practice.

That the event is a serious value within the old-timer calendar, was proven last year, among other things. At that time, no less than 45.000 visitors visited the classic festival, which is considered to be the largest free-of-charge vintage car event.
The organization of this Oldtimdagen Appelscha once again uses the now well-known motto: "The most beautiful day of the year", It was a nominated event in 2008, where a large number of vehicles from more than eighty-five years of vehicle history will be exhibited again this year. . The organization maintains a limit for participation: vehicles built up to 1987 are welcome.
