This year marks a special moment for Ghent Collection Cars, the leading event of Flanders Collection Cars that has been making the hearts of classic car enthusiasts beat faster since 1989. With its 34th edition scheduled to take place from February 16 to 18 at Flanders Expo, the event promises an unprecedented collection of classic beauties, exclusive collectibles and a tribute to some of the most influential figures and brands in the automotive industry.
A rich history and new horizons
Since its founding more than 30 years ago, Flanders Collection Cars has established itself as a leading organizer of classic car shows. In addition to the established fair in Ghent, the organization is introducing a new expo in Antwerp from April 5 to 7, 2024, promising to continue the tradition of quality and diversity.
The 2024 edition: a tribute to Giotto Bizzarrini
This year marks Bizzarrini's 60th anniversary, a milestone that the Ghent Collection Cars organization will not let go unnoticed. The exhibition pays tribute to Giotto Bizzarrini, whose name is synonymous with pioneering design and engineering achievements in the automotive industry. Bizzarrini's contribution to the development of some of Ferrari and Lamborghini's most coveted models underlines his legendary status.
From Ferrari 250GTO to Bizzarrini 5300GT
Bizzarrini's work on the Ferrari 250GTO, a car that is today considered the most desirable Ferrari ever produced, demonstrates his exceptional talent and vision. But it is with the Bizzarrini 5300GT that he leaves his indelible mark on the world of classic cars. These models, together with other special creations, can be admired during the fair.
Circuit Zolder and Mustang: anniversary celebrations
Circuit Zolder is also joining the event to celebrate their 10th anniversary of hosting the Grand Prix in Belgium. Marking 40 years since the last race in 1984, Circuit Zolder offers visitors a nostalgic look back at this exciting period in racing history.

Hello . I really want to register, but something isn't working. My husband and I also have a 72 Mustang and we are vintage car fans.
Hello, please try again. If all went well, it should now work again.
Bizzarrini, one of the greatest. More beautiful. Rarer than a Ferrari. And much better V8 technology from the States. A little bit of fun from an Opel. It wasn't for nothing that he had a fight with troublesome aristocrat Enzo
