For many Porsche fans, the highlight of next weekend will definitely be the Strähle Porsche Swap Meet in Fellbach. Dozens of exhibitors will fill the ‘Alte Kelter’ with parts, literature, and memorabilia. And in the last editions hundreds of collectors, fans, and enthusiasts showed up. Paul-Ernst Strähle Jr, son of former racer Paul-Ernst Strähle, is the man in charge and responsible for the organization.
In the last few years, he had to cancel the event because of Covid-19. But now the show will go on. And the latest news that reached us, is that the venue is sold out for exhibitors. We presume all of you are eager to go visit an event, comparable to the LA Lit and Toy Show, again. The Strähle Swap Meet is more than just a show to go find treasures to complete your collection, or to dig up the part that you were looking for for ages. The Strähle Swap Meet is above all a unique opportunity to catch up with fellow Porsche fans and friends from all over Europe (and maybe even America or Asia).
Next to that, the Strähle Swap Meet, now in its 16th edition, is a place where Porsche legends used to show up. And isn’t it always great fun to listen to stories told by people like Norbert Singer, Peter Falk, and Jürgen Barth, to name just a few. A last piece of advice: combine the trip to the Strähle Swap Meet with a visit to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. The special exhibition for the 50th anniversary of the 911 Carrera RS is still running.
We’ll be there as an exhibitor, and we hope to see you there next Saturday, November 19th.
