Toowoomba Swap
The 2026 Toowoomba Swap will be on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th February, 2026.
The Show Society is using the Lake Pavilion for other purposes, so it is not available for 2026.

Beyond 2026 ...
It is highly likely that the 2027 Toowoomba Swap will occur.
However there are a number of options to explore, and these are taking longer than anticipated.
This means rebookings at the 2026 Swap for the 2027 Swap will not be possible.
Existing siteholders will get their reservations for the 2027 Swap around mid 2026.
The options for continuing are:
- Utilising a professional event management team.
- Staying at the Toowoomba Showgrounds for one or two more years, knowing that Olympics infrastructure development will limit the options beyond that.
- Moving to another location such as the Farmfest site, which has a simpler layout, but not as many covered sites.

About us
The main objectives of the organisation are: to encourage the preservation and restoration of motor vehicles older than 30 years and to organise rally events for their use.
Please note that because of the restrictions on concessional registration of older vehicles, they are not available for hire for weddings and formals etc.
Our club has an air-conditioned spacious meeting hall and well-equipped workshops at 2 Rocla Court (off McDougall Street).
Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month beginning at 7:30 pm. Visitors with an interest in all types of older collectable vehicles, are very welcome to attend. The club has an event for vehicles each month which normally takes the form of a rally. Competitive events such as observation runs, restoration runs, economy runs, static displays and gymkhanas are held, as well as social events.
