More than 40,000 treasures and classic cars heading to Torre Pacheco this September

Antique collectors, vintage enthusiasts, and classic car aficionados on the Costa Calida are in for a treat as the IFEPA Exhibition Centre in Torre Pacheco prepares to host its annual flagship event from Friday, September 25 to Sunday, September 27. Merging the 23rd Antiques, Collectables, Retro and Vintage Fair alongside the RetroAuto Classic Vehicle Show, this three-day event transforms the venue into a time machine celebrating craftsmanship and automotive history.

Tens of thousands of vintage treasures from across Europe

Gathering more than 100 international exhibitors from across Europe, including Spain, France, and the United Kingdom, the event will offer an astonishing collection of over 40,000 memorabilia items. During the event, visitors will be able to explore a vast variety of retro treasures spanning multiple centuries, ranging from antique furniture, rustic decor, chandeliers, lamps, and mirrors to rare mechanical cash tills, typewriters, Victorian sewing machines, phonographs, and vintage toys. The event will also feature an impressive selection of jewellery, rare coins, vintage watches, and historic mantel clocks.

Items will be priced anywhere from €5 to four-figures for museum-quality rarities.

Classic cars, spare parts, and model railways: The RetroAuto show

Running parallel to the antiques fair, the RetroAuto exhibition will bring together more than 200 classic cars and motorcycles. Organised in collaboration with the Club Ruta del Sol and supported by the Santa Rosalía Classic Vehicles Club, the motoring section highlights decades of engineering, design, and style. A specialised section will also be open for classic vehicle owners, stocked with thousands of original spare parts, accessories, manuals, and restoration tools.

Adding to the transport heritage theme, the Murcia Association of Railway Friends is presenting detailed model railway layouts for fans of locomotives, including a historical recreation of the former Murcia railway station that once stood at Plaza Circular.

Live restoration workshops and prize giveaways

This year’s edition will also introduce interactive educational features and visitor incentives. Hosted by specialists from Lakeone, live restoration workshops will demonstrate professional techniques for repairing and preserving antique furniture, offering practical tips to bring forgotten attic treasures back to life. In addition, every attendee can enter a free raffle upon entry for a chance to win an authentic 1970s Lladró porcelain figure, a prized Spanish classic.
