The anniversary of Bosch coincided with the 125th anniversary of the invention of the car itself. And from Stuttgart, in which Robert Bosch lived and worked, to Mannheim, where Karl Benz designed the first car, only about 80 km. It was along these original automobile places of the earth that the oldtimer rally route ran. Crews started in Karlsruhe, and finished in Boxberg. The participants had to not only withstand the accurately calculated speed mode, but also take part in various competitions and even rush along the real racing ring in Zolitude.
Alba 1919
The crew at number 2 rode on the rare Alba 1919 release. The now almost forgotten French brand existed from 1913 to 1929, having been noted in history as one of the first auto companies to supply their models with brakes on all wheels, and also paying great attention to the weight of the car.

Ford 1932
The 1932 Ford brand phaeton is celebrated at a Gunndsbach checkpoint. His crew - Oliver Widmeier and Jürgen Grunewald - is not the first time taking part in Bosch Boxberg Klassik.

In total, 202 cars took part in the 2011 Bosch Boxberg Klassik rally, most of which are equipped with Bosch components. So, under the hood of the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL coupe, the first engine with an injection system (of course, Bosch) is located, and the 1983 Mercedes-Benz 260SE W126 in 1983 was already supplied with ABS. The oval headlights of any VW Kaefer are also marked with Bosch - the company has made lighting for each of the 21, 529, 464 issued "Beetles" …
Volkswagen Kaefer 1303
An open-top “Beetle” is an ideal option for such an event: in fine weather, the sun delights the crew with its rays, and in inclement weather, the awning reliably protects from rain. This convertible was launched in 1977 and is equipped with a Bosch injection system. The full model is called the Volkswagen Kaefer 1303 “Beetle” with an open top - ideal for such an event: in good weather, the sun delights the crew with its rays, and in bad weather, the awning will reliably protect from rain. This convertible was launched in 1977 and is equipped with a Bosch injection system. The whole model is called Volkswagen Kaefer 1303
Monteverdi 375L
Even among the youngtimers - cars of the 70-80s - there are real rarities, like this Swiss Monteverdi 375L. Models of the company that has long ceased to exist still attract collectors who are looking for rare modifications - small-scale, or even piece-wise Even among the youngtimers - cars of the 70-80s - there are real rarities, like this Swiss Monteverdi 375L. Models of the company that has long ceased to exist still attract collectors who are looking for rare modifications - small-scale, or even piece ones
The event is unique in its kind - not one of the manufacturers of automotive components does not carry out anything like this. Bosch even has a specially created Bosch Automotive Tradition division, which deals with spare parts for long-discontinued models. Thanks to this, you can find a new gas pump for the Mercedes-Benz W100 of the mid-60s or injectors for the Citroen DS23 injection engine. In Germany alone, nearly a million cars travel on roads whose age has exceeded 20 years - today these are no longer vehicles, but collectibles.
50s Setra Bus
An unexpected move by the organizers of the event is to use the Setra bus of the 50s to transport representatives of the media (press pool). Thanks to this, the journalists did not fall out of the atmosphere of the oldtimer rally, especially since the bus followed the entire route according to legend, as the other participants The unexpected move of the organizers of the event was to use the Setra bus of the 50s to transport representatives of the media (press pool).

Mercedes-Benz 170S
The post-war Mercedes-Benz 170S in its native element - the small town of Jagsthausen, built up with typically German old houses with high triangular roofs. It is followed by a subcompact Auto Union F12 with an emblem of four rings on a radiator, released in 1965. This is the ancestor of all current Audi.

Spare parts marked with Bosch help to maintain them in perfect technical condition - they are made using original documentation, equipment and technologies, and therefore, do not contradict the authentic condition of the car.
Opel Kadett
In 1968, when this Opel Kadett was launched, gasoline with an octane rating of 95 was not sold, so today, when refueling at a gas station, its owner adds special additives to the fuel tank. There are a lot of them for cars of different years.

It is the oldtimer rally Bosch Boxberg Klassik - the best advertisement for Automotive Tradition, which clearly demonstrates the quality and reliability of spare parts. Bosch technical vehicles accompanied the participants along the entire route, two of which were oldtimers - the three-wheeled Goliath GD750 and the VW Transporter van. But units needed help, because cars equipped with Bosch components usually do not let the owners down, even despite their venerable age.
Mercedes-Benz 190SL
The Mercedes-Benz 190SL can be found at any rally - this is one of the most common oldtimers in Germany, only VW Kaefer can compete with it in popularity. The owner of the 1960 roadster, Andy Schweiger, kept on his car factory paint of a pleasant shade.

1967 Volvo P210
Another company van is the 1967 Volvo P210 with the logos of the French manufacturer of motor oils and technical fluids Motul.

Mercedes-Benz 220SE Coupe 1960
The race track allowed some car owners to run into plenty, writing bends in corners - even drivers of such seemingly sedate cars as the 1906 Mercedes-Benz 220SE Coupe succumbed to this temptation. In Germany, such tricks can only be done in special places.
