Never seen before – Don’t miss these beauties at the show!
1976 HX Sandman
He bought it the next day and since then has spent nearly every waking hour restoring her. Every single nut, bolt and screw has been removed. Following the re-build, it took Nathan’s brother Dean another 18 months to paint it the signature yellow. Nathan says he is just putting the finishing touches on her now, ready for her first public viewing at the Devonport Motor Show!
Ford Falcon XE ESP
He has scanned the buy-and-sells since trying to find something comparable.
In 2017 he found this one for sale in Ballarat – with some love he knew he could bring it back to it’s full glory.
It’s been stripped back to a bare shell and completely re-built – all the work done by Jason himself, aside from the engine re-build.
The re-build was completed in December 2019 – just in time for the 2020 Devonport Motor Show!
1932 Hornet Swallow Special
More excitement in the new University of Tasmania precinct!
We told you last month about the new University of Tasmania precinct at the 2020 show – complete with making a model car to race in the Derby and creating a car to protect your racing egg in the ‘eggs-treme’ crashes. Bunnings and the University of Tasmania team will be on hand to help with car making activities.
Here are some more super exciting activities on offer:
Virtual reality demo: Experience first-hand how virtual reality is transforming the car industry.
Model solar car challenge: Watch model cars move around a 7m track, powered by the sun!

We’re moving!
Yep, that’s right – the 2020 Searoad Devonport Motor Show is moving…but only down the road!
With Devonport’s Living Centre Project now in full swing, we are moving our show to the Northern end of Victoria Parade – stretching from the Vietnam Veterans memorial carpark, and west along the foreshore to Fenton Street North.
Our show will also extend to the grassed area in front of the Bass Strait Maritime Centre.
