Events: 70 years of the convertible goddess
The Citroen DS is undoubtedly one of the most important birthday children of 2025: at the premiere of the convertible classic on October 5, 1955 at the Paris Motor Show, the “goddess” literally knocked visitors off their feet. A futuristic convertible, paired with the unusual hydropneumatic suspension. It is said that 12,000 orders were received on the very first day, but this was probably more of a marketing stunt.
Events: 30 years of the Fiat Barchetta
The convertible roadster was built by car manufacturer Fiat from 1995 to 2005 and named after the Italian word for “small boat”.

Events: 70 years of the BMW Isetta - small but mighty!
Much smaller than the French “goddess”, but also much more affordable than the DS, was the small Isetta from BMW in 1955. Its concept with the large front door conveyed a convertible feeling and now lives on in the electric Microlino, which is available for 19,990 euros (base price). Original Isettas in good condition now cost well over 20,000 euros.

ArabellaClassics ROUTE 2025 from May 08 to 11, 2025
Home base – ROSEWOOD Schloss Fuschl
The highlights of the rally, which is organized as a regularity and orientation drive, include not only the fantastic routes through the Salzburg region and the exclusive lunch stops. The opening evening in the historic castle coach house, the kitchen party and the gala evening are also unparalleled in the scene.
ArabellaClassics participants have the opportunity to extend their stay at the Sisi Palace on Lake Fuschl at special rates.
16th Hamburg-Berlin Classic from May 22 to 24, 2025
The most beautiful roads between the Elbe and the sea
Since 2008, the “Hamburg-Berlin Classic” has been traveling through the north and east of Germany. Sometimes starting in the capital, sometimes on the Elbe – always with new routes and familiar faces.
From pre-war oldies to flashy youngtimers, everything can be seen at the Hamburg-Berlin-Klassik. The only requirement: the cars must have been built before 2005. In 2025, the most beautiful roads between the Baltic Sea and Hamburg will be explored.
16th Arlberg Classic Car Rally from June 26 to 28, 2025
With friends through dreamy alpine scenery
The historic rally is less about top speeds and more about maximum precision. There is also plenty of time for socializing. There is plenty of time for this during the lunch stops, the traditional hut evening and the gala dinner at the end of the event.
The family atmosphere is also reflected in the motto “with friends through alpine dream scenery”.
1st Salzburger-Land-Klassik from September 11 to 13, 2025
With the top down through the Salzkammergut
Created as the legitimate successor to the Bodensee-Klassik, B&M is now hosting another event in the Alpine region: the Adapura wellness hotel in Wagrain serves as the start and finish location for the rally through Pongau, Salzkammergut and Salzburger Land.
Instead of one, there are four beautiful lakes on the route: Wolfgangsee, Fuschlsee, Hallstädter See and Grundlsee. The rally also circles the Dachstein, Bleikogel and Grimming.
