Under clear skies, the 23rd edition of the ACL Classic Tour brought together no fewer than 152 classic cars on Ascension Thursday. It was a veritable travelling exhibition that delighted car enthusiasts and fans of mechanical heritage.
Triumph, Trabant, Porsche, Mercedes, Peugeot, Lancia, MG, Corvette and Morgan… The ACL car park in Bertrange was transformed into an open-air museum on 29 May for the ACL Classic Tour 2025. More than 300 participants, divided into 152 teams, set off on this unique car rally, which combines passion, heritage and conviviality. In this exceptional procession, at least five cars were pre-war models, including a 1934 Alvis Speed. You can see them all in the photos of the event.
At 9:01 a.m., the vehicles set off every 30 seconds on a route of nearly 232 kilometres, which was kept secret until the day of the event. Designed by Ed Goedert, the route passed through bucolic landscapes and picturesque villages such as Kehlen, Nospelt, Septfontaines, Eschette, Hautbellain and Urspelt.
A stop to admire the Steyr tractors
Halfway through the tour, the ACL Classic Tour 2025 stopped in Wemperhardt, a small village in northern Luxembourg, home to a real gem for agricultural machinery enthusiasts: the world’s largest private collection of Steyr tractors. The collection includes dozens of iconic models from the Austrian brand Steyr, ranging from the first post-war tractors to the most modern series. It traces the technological evolution of these robust agricultural machines, which have marked the history of European agriculture. A real gem of Luxembourg’s industrial and agricultural heritage.
The crews completed their journey at around 5 p.m. at the Parc Hôtel Alvisse in Dommeldange. A convivial dinner gave everyone the opportunity to share their impressions and relive the highlights of this eventful day.
