2nd DDK Swap-Meet - Sunday 8 March at 9.30 -12.30 (and blog)
The 2nd DDK Swap-Meet will be held on Sunday 8 March at 9.30 -12.30 at Greatworth Park, Welsh Lane, Banbury OX17 2HB
Last year, the 2019 the first DDK Swap-meet combined with Greatworth Classics open day ‘Coffee & Classics’.
Life before eBay was very different. If you wanted to buy used car parts you’d have to actually buy a magazine or paper, make a phone call and go and meet up with the owner, face to face. Or you’d go to a swap-meet / auto-jumble. A gathering of people and boxes, lots of boxes. You’d go, rummage and haggle. That was the simplicity of it. Taking a mental list of requirements to finish your garage project. Sure, some larger swap-meets such as the famous Beaulieu Auto Jumble survived the onslaught of the internet and eBay, but smaller more specialist events such as the Husbourne Crawley Porsche swap-meet dwindled. This was always a slightly out of season trudge round a muddy field next to a pub, plenty for sale and plenty of haggling to be done. A great social event though and you’d always see familiar faces tucking into their bacon sarnies.
In 2019 it was reborn as if all the participants had been cryogenically frozen for the last 15 years and along with their boxes had been thawed out again.
The location was the impressive HQ of Greatworth Classics who kindly agreed to host the swap-meet as part of their open day ‘Coffee & Classics’. It’s a superb facility with some really interesting projects in the works. The swap-meet was suggested by one of the DDK club members and what a great suggestion it was! A superb turnout of both people and cars, we can’t wait to go back on Sunday 8 March 2020 from 9.30-12.30 at Greatworth Park, Banbury OX17 2HB. Haggling is not dead…
