The event is an annual fixture on the Port Macquarie calendar.

The swap meet features car, motorcycle and associated parts plus bric-a-brac and collectables.

Hastings Auto Restorers Society will host the swap meet on Sunday, June 2 from 7am at Port Macquarie Racecourse.

The swap meet was first held 18 years ago to cater for motor vehicle enthusiasts searching for car parts.

The event has grown to feature a market day and draw collectors from all over Australia.

Motoring enthusiasts and others will be able to browse through the 185 sites with goods on offer.

Swap meet coordinator Chris Whalley described the swap meet as a major motoring event in the Port Macquarie area.

"We cater for everybody and it is amazing what turns up," he said.

"There will always be something different that will turn up every year."

Mr Whalley said the swap meet was a good way to showcase our area as it drew people to the Hastings.

People can expect goods from car parts to bric-a-brac, collectables, model trains and crystal ware.

The swap meet has been 12 months in the planning.

Entry to the swap meet costs $3 for adults, while admission for children is free.

The event supports the Mid North Coast Cancer Institute at Port Macquarie Base Hospital with $60,000 donated over the years.

Hastings Auto Restorers Society has about 100 members.
