FAQS

What kind of cars are you accepting for the show

We would love to see anything that isn't at your usual meet - welcoming Japanese cars from the 1960's to the year 2000. There is plenty of general parking available within the venue so bring your ride along and check out the show even if you aren't one of the entries

For the swap-meet, I've got other car parts, can I bring those too?

Yes of course. Although this event is geared towards pre-2000s Japanese cars, like any swap-meet you are welcome to bring along whatever items you have and they might find a new home

Can I pair up with a buddy and share a swap-site?

Yes, up to 3 people can share a spot if you can fit your parts laid out there, just two people get the free entry though, so grab any additional entry tickets at the gate

How will people pay me for parts?

We will encourage shoppers to bring cash, but they might find something they weren't expecting to budget for so you might find it handy to print out your bank account details to accept transfers.
