Essen Motor Show 2022 - pic heavy content

Recommended Posts

A few weekends back I flew into Dusseldorf with my best mate to go visit the Essen Motor Show. I hadn't been since 2018 and my pal had never been. My wife had suggested I go for a few days as she knows I love making the trip there and had missed it for a few years.

We flew on a Friday afternoon from Edinburgh to Dusseldorf and got the train into Essen where we stayed at a hotel next to the Hauptbahnhof. We spent Friday night round the Christmas markets and the full day on Saturday at the show before having a night out in Essen until the early hours of Sunday. Our flight home was until 6pm so we had most of the day to recover, get lunch and make our way to the airport. We did look at squeezing Amsterdam in on the Sunday morning but with it being Sunday Service we wouldn't have had time to get back for our flight. We're going to build a day in for that next year though.

I hope you enjoy the pictures, of which there are many of! They're all straight out of the camera with no editing - some photos i struggled to get in focus due to the bright lighting overhead and only having a split second while it was clear to get a decent shot without someone walking through it but the majority of them turned out well.

Some very cool cars there, I've been lucky enough to have a ride in a Sunbeam Alpine (and a tiger with a 5.0 in it), but if I was going to drive one of them home it would have to be the Shelby Cobra.

I don't know if i could choose just one to take home. One for every day of the year maybe :lol:

But, no Bandit TransAm! 🙄

Nor often you see Pulling Tractors at car show. Get yourself down to Blackpool, and watch them in action, awesome.

Have seen the pulling tractor on youtube with 2 Rolls Royce Griffon engines in. They pull well for 70 year old engines :D

The Whittingham family have run those engines in their Tractors for a while.

We had a caravan near Blackpool growing up, so every August Bank Holiday, I was at the Great Eccleston show, sat on a haybale next to the track (no health & safety in the 80's...😳), watching the thunderous ground shaking monsters blast past.😁

This was one of their first and the original  'Snoopy' running a 40ltr Packard, got my dad to take a few photos of it.

Asked them ,if they'd be running the orginal Snoopy for nostalgia, but its seemingly all but cut up now 🥺

Snoopy 3 runs 2 x Griffon's on Avgas running around 5000hp, and Snoopy 4 runs the 2 Griffons on methanol, making over 8000hp.

Every petrol (or methanol!?! ) head, needs a visit once in their life!!!
