Join the Fun
Join us at the Midlands Air-Cooled Swap Meet 2026 for all things vintage VW and Porsche. After the massive, sell-out success of the previous Midlands Air-Cooled Swap Meets, we’re excited to do it all over again, and as it’s our 4th event, we thought, hey, let’s go 1/4th bigger!
The date for the next Swap Meet is Sunday, 1st February 2026 and will once again be hosted at the excellent British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire, and we have agreed to hire more internal space so we can get even more traders in for you lucky folk.
As ever, our main focus for indoors will be on quality new and used air-cooled Volkswagen and Porsche-related items. So whether it’s NOS/genuine used parts you’re after, or quality new items, we want you to come away with everything you need for your beloved vehicle. This superb venue is set up for events like this and has its own dedicated entrance and extensive parking for your air-cooled vehicles. We will still have the dedicated ‘air-cooled only’ parking section and also a cars for sale area. Why not make a full day of it by coming along to the swap meet and then having a look around the British Motor Museum's amazing collection of classic British-made vehicles? (Separate charges apply). We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, 1st February 2026.
