Welcome to celebrate Motorhistoriska dagen (Historic Vehicle Day) together with other enthusiasts at the Saab Car Museum in Trollhättan! Motor History Day is celebrated in many places around the country to draw attention to the vehicle's historical cultural heritage. Together with Trestads veteranbilklubb and Svenska Saabklubben Trollhättan, we invite all types of historic enthusiast vehicles to the Saab Car Museum on June 6.
All clubs and enthusiasts are welcome, regardless of whether the vehicle has two, three, four or perhaps even more wheels! Gather friends and clubmates and use the Saab Car Museum as the starting point for your excursions, or end a nice day on beautiful roads by meeting other enthusiasts and enjoying each other's vehicles.
Inside the museum, activities and lectures are arranged with MHRF (The Federation of Swedish Historic Vehicles Clubs) and the museum's curator that tells the story of the Saab Car Museum, which opened in 1975.
Opening hours Friday June 6:
The event and the museum are open: 10:00–16:00
Entrance fee to the museum: 50 SEK (regular price for adults 140 SEK)
Due to the Saab Car Museum turning 50 in 2025, we are lowering the entrance fee to 50 SEK for all visitors during Motorhistoriska dagen on June 6! Save the receipt if you want to go in and out during the day. Payment with Swish or card, no cash.
Parking:
There is free parking in regular parking lots throughout the Innovatum District, but closest to the museum we gather all enthusiast vehicles.
– Enthusiast vehicles can enter the event via Åkersjövägen and the entrance next to the Saab Car Museum.
As a visitor, you choose where to park your car at the event area. If you are a group of vehicles that want to park close to each other, it is easiest if you arrive at the same time.
If the parking spaces closest to the museum become full, our marshalls will ask you to choose other parking spaces in the area – including enthusiast cars – such as the parking lots along Åkersjövägen and the parking lots at Nohabgatan opposite the N3 culture center.
On the map of Innovatum District you will find all the parking spaces.
Interesting lectures:
All visitors who pay an entrance fee to the museum can take part in the following lectures (in Swedish) in the museum's film room:
– 11.00: MHRF and motor culture – Malin Erlfeldt from MHRF (The Federation of Swedish Historic Vehicles Clubs) presents projects and collaborations that enhance cultural heritage.
– 12.30: The world's finest Saab collection – Museum curator Peter Bäckström talks about memories and milestones from the Saab Car Museum's fifty-year history.
– 14.00: MHRF and motor culture – Malin Erlfeldt from MHRF (The Federation of Swedish Historic Vehicles Clubs) presents projects and collaborations that enhance cultural heritage.

This is Motorhistoriska dagen (Historic Vehicle Day):
Every year, throughout Sweden, the vehicle historical cultural heritage is illustrated through the many events for historic vehicles during Motorhistoriska dagen on June 6. MHRF (The Federation of Swedish Historic Vehicles Clubs) invites affiliated clubs, other associations, commercial organizers, museums and others to celebrate by arranging, for example, meetings, excursions or exhibitions.
The goal of Motorhistoriska dagen is to make the historic vehicles cultural heritage visible. Individual vehicle owners can do this by taking their historic vehicles out and participating in events. If you cannot participate, you can still participate by putting your vehicle up at home. Together, we show the breadth of the historic vehicles movement, both in terms of vehicles, ownership and geography. Another important goal of Motorhistoriska dagen is to draw the attention of the public, media, politicians and decision-makers to the scope of the automotive history movement, thereby creating increased acceptance for the preservation and use of this cultural heritage.
