Bug Run 2026 - Sell your VW live at Mantorp Park
There is no car meetup where a Volkswagen feels more at home than at Bug Run. Here generations, styles and stories meet in the same place. Air-cooled classics roll in next to sharp GTI builds, well-polished original cars share space with track-ready projects, and all over Mantorp Park there is the same common denominator: the love for Volkswagen. PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY SELECTED CARS WILL BE ON SITE AT MANTORP DURING THE EVENT.
On June 5-7, Bidders Highway will be bringing the auctions to Bug Run, Scandinavia's largest Volkswagen event. During the weekend, we will be on site with live auctions, specially selected VW models and the opportunity for both buyers and sellers to be part of something happening right in the enthusiasts' own environment.
Auction where the audience already loves the cars
After our efforts at the Custom Motor Show at Elmia and Bimmers of Sweden at Mantorp Park, we are now taking the next step. This time the focus is entirely on Volkswagen.
Bug Run has gathered VW enthusiasts from all over Scandinavia for over four decades. It is a weekend filled with track driving, drag racing, exhibitions, camping, cruising and everything in between. In short: a place where cars are not only shown off, but used, discussed, compared and loved.
That is also exactly why live auctions are a great fit here. When the right car meets the right audience, something more than just a sale occurs. It is a chance to see the car, get a feel for the context, talk to other enthusiasts and follow the bidding while the energy from the event is still in the air.
From the Beetle to the GTI – we are looking for the right Volkswagen for the right audience
For Bug Run we want to collect cars that belong in the VW world. It could be a classic Type 1, a Karmann Ghia, a nice Golf GTI, an unusual Corrado, a period Passat, a naughty Polo, a track-inspired build or something completely different with a clear Volkswagen soul.
It doesn't always have to be the most expensive or most perfect car that arouses the most interest. Sometimes it's the history, condition, originality, modifications or feel that makes the car special. At Bug Run there is an audience that understands the difference.
For those of you who are thinking of selling a Volkswagen, this is therefore an unusually good opportunity. Instead of just putting the car on the market, it is placed in a context where thousands of like-minded people are already there, already talking VW and already looking for the next car, the next project or the next dream.
A weekend where Volkswagen takes center stage
This year's Bug Run also offers an extra GTI feel as the Golf GTI celebrates its 50th anniversary. This makes the weekend even more exciting for anyone who grew up with, owned, drove or dreamed of Volkswagen's perhaps most iconic performance model.
But the Bug Run is bigger than a single model. It's the breadth that makes the event special. From air-cooled original cars to modern performance models, from show cars to everyday heroes and from polished classics to pure driving machines. It's that mix that makes the Bug Run continue to be an obvious gathering place for Volkswagen enthusiasts year after year.
Do you want to sell your Volkswagen at Bug Run?
Bidders Highway will be holding live auctions on site during the Bug Run, with selected VW models that fit the audience and feel of the event. If you have a Volkswagen that deserves the right exposure, the right buyer and the right context, we would love to hear from you.
Maybe there is a classic in the garage that is ready for the next owner. Maybe you have a build that should meet the audience at Mantorp Park. Or maybe it is time to let someone else take over the baton for a car that has meant a lot.
Bug Run is about the community around Volkswagen. Now we are taking the auctions to where the community already exists.
