John & Patricia at Epoqu’Auto Lyon – 7–9 Nov

Epoqu’Auto overview

Every November, the classic car world flocks to Epoqu’Auto in Lyon. It’s one of Europe’s biggest showcases of heritage motoring — a three-day festival of engines, parts, and the kind of obsessive attention to detail only classic owners truly understand.

This year, John and Patricia from A H Spares are heading across the Channel to set up in Hall 5, Stand V31, ready to talk all things Austin Healey.

If you’ve ever wanted to bend the ear of someone who’s solved the same greasy, swear-inducing jobs you’re tackling on your own car, now’s your chance.

What Makes Epoqu’Auto Special?

If you’ve never been, Epoqu’Auto isn’t just a jumble of parts stalls and shiny cars. It’s a deep dive into the culture of classic motoring. Expect:

• 1,000+ exhibitors across restoration, clubs, auctioneers, and suppliers.
• 80,000+ visitors from across Europe, all there for the same reason you are: to celebrate the machinery that refuses to fade away.
• Dedicated marque displays, from the big names like Ferrari and Mercedes, right through to more niche gems.
• Technical demonstrations and live workshops showing how things are done (or should be done).

For Healey owners, it’s one of the few shows where you can meet suppliers face-to-face, ask real questions, and walk away with proper answers.

FAQ

Are you bringing parts to sell at Epoqu’Auto?

Not in the sense of a trade stall. The focus is conversation, advice, and demonstrating what’s possible. Orders can be placed and processed, but the real value is face-to-face expertise.

Will you also be at other shows this year?

Yes — we regularly attend international Healey events. Check our Events Page for the latest schedule.

Why should I come to a show instead of just ordering online?

Because you’ll get answers, confidence, and connections that you can’t click into a basket. Healeys aren’t appliances — they’re quirks on wheels. The right advice can save you hours.
