THE recent Northam-based Avon Valley Vintage Vehicle Association of WA inc (AVVVA) swap meet was a huge success with more than 2000 people coming through the gates at the Toodyay Showgrounds looking for vintage car parts and collectable car and oil memorabilia

With more than 150 sellers filling the oval AVVVA president Ron Mackay said many club members were concerned the high fuel prices would stop people attending, but fortunately that was not the case.

60 classic and vintage cars were also on display and members of the various car clubs in WA were well represented with their pride and joy on display.

Toodyay Lions Club manned the main gate taking the entry money and The Toodyay Moondyne Men did the public car parking, volunteering their time on the Sunday to make the day a success.

Another Toodyay local club was the Avon Valley Shotokan Karate that had a food stall to keep the public well fed.

Another swap meet is planned in Toodyay for March 14, 2027.
