The “1st Classic Car Balkan Tour” organized in collaboration with Trakya University and the Antique Automobile Federation, passed by the historical Selimiye Mosque in Edirne and set off from the Kapkule border gate to Plovdiv in Bulgaria. Trakya University Rector Erhan Tabakolu, academics, and students were fascinated by the colorful antique cars gathered under the umbrella of active classic car clubs in Turkey.
Trakya University Rector Prof. Dr. Erhan Tabakoğlu said, “The aim of Trakya University is a university whose vision has always included the Balkans. We find it very meaningful that the start is given here in the Balkans, so I would like to thank the federation officials. I would like to thank Trakya University for this start. May their journey be safe.”
İlker Tayalı, Chairman of the Antique Automobile Federation (AOF), said, “Young people hardly know classic cars and cars over 30 years old. The cars we exhibit here today are over 50-60 years old on average, so we tried to present to young people how classic cars have evolved, from the colors of the cars to the different ones. We are departing soon. After two days we will spend in the Balkans, we will end our tour in Edirne again. We thank Trakya University for giving us this opportunity.”
