Last Saturday, May 7, the 3rd edition of the concentration took place Classics Venturada. Organized by the club with the same name in the town of Venturada in the Sierra de Madrid, it could be said that it was a resounding success.
And that despite the threatening weather that hung over the participants throughout the day. Fortunately he endured, and did not prevent them from meeting at this annual meeting around 350 or 400 classics ordered mostly by their country of origin.
In effect, the organization had arranged different spaces according to the make and type of assisting vehicles. Thus, in the central esplanade you could enjoy the selection of the most special cars, from veterans, from the English, from the Americans, from the Japanese, and from BMWs, Mercedes and Porsche.
The classics were arriving, without fear of the rain

Ford Consul, with its characteristic rear window in Z. Interestingly, it already arrived muddy (and thanks to the rest of the decoration it fit very well, it looked like something out of a rally)
A central esplanade packed with M3
Precisely in this central esplanade was the main attraction of the meeting, a selection of 8 BMW M3 E30 that commemorated the 30th anniversary of the model. Among them was a Evo 1 special whose video we published just a week ago, although all the units were very interesting. Next to him an older brother, a BMW M6 E24, looked impeccable.
As we have said, the most special classics of the meeting were parked on the central carpet of the esplanade, among which it was difficult to keep one or more in particular. However, the one who subscribes these lines would choose the Mercedes 220S coupe brother to the Ponton saloons, which was a delight to see; or the Alpine A-310, Saab Sonnet III, Alfa-Romeo Giulia GTV replica GTA or Chevrolet Fleetmaster, all of them pieces worth seeing.

Against all odds: Veterans and motorcycles
Against all odds the veterans came to the appointment and we were able to admire a Packard Six convertible, an impressive Hispano-Suiza H6B or an irresistible Donet Zedel van, among others. The same could be said of the motorcycles, which parked in the Plaza Mayor of Venturada made up a good selection of BMW's and, above all, of field bikes. Among the latter there were units that were really difficult to see in our country, as was the case with a Triumph and a trial Suzuki from the late 60s.
And it is that apart from its multitudinous character, which makes the concentration of Classics Venturada is the transformation of the streets and small squares of the municipality into a rolling museum; Popular brands such as Seat, Renault, Citroën or Ford, among others, have their place in the streets surrounding the central esplanade.
In Venturada the streets become a car museum for a day. It gives the feeling of having traveled in time
As can be seen, the popular classics awaken a hobby that is difficult to match.

Clásicos Venturada 2016: An open-air museum
Thus, the organizers achieved the desired 'time travel effect'. It was a pleasure to see the streets traveled by fans and neighbors who stopped at every moment to delight in the classics that marked their youth or childhood.
Around midday the barbaboa began to be prepared, whose income of 1.900 euros went to the Food Bank. In my opinion, and I spent the whole morning there, nothing was lacking, so I congratulate Clásicos Venturada and encourage them to repeat next year. I leave you with the rest of the photos!
