PRE-2000s JAPANESE CAR SHOW & AWARDS - CAR SHOW NOW FULL!
This event will showcase a wide range of classic Japanese vehicles, from iconic sports cars, restored gems, to reliable workhorses and everything in between. With a range of award categories to appreciate the array of epic vehicles we will see on the day.
The car show has reached capacity, but don't worry, there is plenty of on-site parking available for general admission.

The JDM-swap meet offers a unique opportunity to find those parts that you don’t find listed on trademe or marketplace, connect with fellow enthusiasts and experts and enjoy a day immersed in car culture with like-minded enthusiasts.

FAQS

What kind of cars are you accepting for the show

We are now full of 80's + 90's Japanese cars but there's plenty of general parking space so come along anyway!

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

Yes, although this event is geared towards pre-2000s Japanese cars, like any swap meet you're welcome to bring along whatever items you have.

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 one person gets the free entry though, so grab any additional entry tickets here.

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.
