In 2025, BAIV opened its doors once again, giving enthusiasts and social-media followers a rare chance to experience our world up close. For many, it’s not every day you stand beside a tank or armored vehicle, and BAIV loves offering that opportunity. Visitors could explore ongoing restorations, speak directly with our craftsmen, and discover whether this remarkable hobby might be something for them.
The open day also served as the official viewing day for the Tracks & Trade Winter Auction 2025. Potential bidders examined the lots in person, spoke with owners, and gathered the details needed to place a well-informed bid.
Whether guests came for the atmosphere, to learn more about restoration possibilities, or to participate in the auction, one thing was certain: a warm welcome, good coffee, and a generous slice of Limburg pie were waiting for everyone.

BAIV hosted this open day to give enthusiasts a rare opportunity to see tanks and armoured vehicles up close and explore ongoing restoration projects. Visitors met the team, asked questions, and gained deeper insight into the work behind each vehicle.
During the same day, BAIV also hosted the official viewing day for the Tracks & Trade Winter Auction 2025, allowing registered bidders to inspect the auction lots in person and ask specific questions on site. As always, guests were welcomed with fresh coffee and the famous Limburg pie
