Boxberg / Karlsruhe – At this year’s double anniversary, the Bosch Automotive Aftermarket division – the classic-car business unit Bosch Classic also belongs to – celebrates its 50th and the location in Karlsruhe its 40th anniversary. These are reasons enough for the popular Bosch Boxberg Klassik rally of vintage and classic cars to start its first stage at Bosch in Karlsruhe. Already on Friday, June 22, the participants will meet for a “get-together” at the Bosch location in Karlsruhe, Auf der Breit 4. That is where the field, consisting of some 150 vintage and classic cars built until (including) 1988 at latest, will start the first stage of the rally on Saturday morning, June 23. A big tour will take the rally around Karlsruhe before it returns to Bosch Automotive Aftermarket – Auf der Breit 4 – for a lunch break. Celebrating the location’s anniversary, there will be a party and an “open day” for the associates on site.
