Due to the success of last year’s eEuro Swap Meet & Car Show, we just had to do it again! We scheduled it for the same weekend to help all the car guys out there do some spring cleaning of their collections, Sunday. April 26th 2015 with a rain date of May 3rd (the following Sunday). Last year turned out to be better than we expected, with hundreds of people cycling through to browse parts and accessories that were unavailable to the public in any other retail settings. Our CS manager Dean is still broken up about letting a set of rims get away. Others came for the car show, bringing their highly polished SAAB, Volvo, and BMW show cars to put on display for a few hours while the festivities continued.
Click here for the updated schedule, and what to expect when coming here!
We expect an even bigger show this year now that people have gotten a taste of what an event like this can produce. Between 10am and 3pm, we had around 200 people sign up for our on-site event credit. We hope to double that for this year. One thing is for sure, there will be music, food, car part rarities, and a group of die hard car guys to hang out with for a day.
We’re going to be catered by J&D Amusements, who will be featuring a menu of all the best festival food.
- Chicken cutlet
- Parmesan sandwiches
- Chicken Wings
- Chicken Nuggets
- Chicken Fingers
- Pitas
- Steak & cheese
- Italian sausage grinders
- Burgers
- Hot dogs
- Nachos
- Fresh cut fries
- Corn dogs
- Cold drinks
We’re hungry just thinking about it. Food is free to the first 150 people! Just stop at the eEuroparts tent to get your ticket. Music will be provided by Connecticut Light and Sound, including Mission Transmission, Randomizer, Void, and Mazzik.
If you can’t attend, we’ll be updating our Facebook, Google+, Twitter, and Instagram pages throughout the event with pictures of all the classic (and less classic) cars in attendance. People at the event should post pictures they have with the hashtag #eEuro. Photos may be chosen to feature in post-event wrap-ups on our blog.
We’ll also be manning a kiosk where anyone can get a $15 event credit added to their account just for showing up. If someone doesn’t have an account, all they will need is a name and an email address to register and access the $15 credit. Nearly every eEuroparts.com employee will be in attendance, running the aforementioned kiosk, fulfilling customer requests and orders, or hanging out by their own European cars, talking shop with whoever wanders by.
If you are like us and have a ton of car parts for ill-fated build projects to be, be sure to reserve yourself a vendor spot. Click here for the link to sign up. All vendors will get a meal ticket.
We’ll have our personal cars, as well as the eEuro race cars wheeled out for some show and tell.
So get your car bits and pieces together, call your buddies and cruise out to Windsor, CT on April 26th for the second annual eEuro Swap Meet! This year we have a rain date of the following Sunday (May 3rd), so if you are looking to buy or sell, you won’t be rained out.

Yea something to do now that my kidd is grown up/ I did not see last years
If you or a friend are looking for 1974 Volvo 140/145 parts cheap, they will be there ready to find a good home!!
Is there a cost to get in for general admission ?
Nope, completely free. Come and enjoy a free show!
This is my first time being a vendor there. Can I bring a small 5×8 trailer that will be loaded with brand new tires for sale? Just be a little easier but it’s no problem if I have to buy an extra spot.
Also, what time should vendors show up at?
I def going to need a little time to set up.
Thank you very much!
Hey Larry, sorry I’m just noticing this now, did you make it out? I did see a lot of tires come out (and go home with new owners!).
Loved the event last year! (2015)
Lots of fun and found some interesting parts that would be hard to find elsewhere and met some fun folks.
The only thing I would change is the music.
It was just the kind of music you would expect from a event where no body was paying attention to the music, just tolerating it.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
Hire a band (a good one, that plays real music at a reasonable volume) or do without music altogether.
But whatever you do, don’t hire a ‘DJ’.
Saab people have good taste and this extends to music.

That was my previous white e30 vert pictured above, traded it for a blue vert and now have a red 92 vert, will be at the 16 show next week.
