The Final Lap: Celebrating 20 Years of the SeaRoad Devonport Motor Show

In 2026, the SeaRoad Devonport Motor Show will mark a major milestone, and a poignant one at that. This will be the 20th and final show presented by the Rotary Club of Devonport North, bringing an era to a close for what has become Tasmania’s most iconic celebration of all things automotive.

Over the past two decades, the show has grown from a grassroots idea into a cornerstone of the state’s motoring calendar, drawing thousands of spectators and more than 500 vehicles from across the country each year. From rare classics and muscle cars to motorbikes and meticulously restored vintage models, the variety on display has always been a key part of the event’s charm. But what has truly set it apart is the heart behind it.

This is not just a motor show. It is a community-driven fundraiser that has supported countless local and international causes over the years, powered entirely by volunteers with a genuine passion for both cars and community service. With the 2026 event marking two decades of effort, generosity and grit, the final show promises to be more than just a display. It will be a celebration of legacy.

The picturesque Aikenhead Point in Devonport will once again be transformed into a sea of chrome, colour and stories. But this time, there will be an added sense of occasion. It is the last chance for exhibitors and spectators alike to be part of a show that has meant so much to so many. For those who have supported it, whether by showing a vehicle, attending with family, or simply making a donation, 2026 will be a moment to reflect, to honour what’s been achieved, and to say thank you.

This final edition is shaping up to be something special. Not just because of the cars, but because of the people who have made the show what it is. If you’ve ever thought about entering a vehicle, making the trip, or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this is the year to do it.

Let’s go out on a high.
