Welcome to the Devon Traction Engine & Vintage Vehicle Club website.

The Club was started in 1964 in glorious North Devon, England where a rally is held each year at Chapelton on the A377 road south of Barnstaple. The rally is probably the largest in Devon always having hundreds of fascinating entries and exhibits. Demonstrations often include tree and log sawing by steam or tractor power, stone crushing and traditional thatching. The huge parade area allows displays and demonstrations of exhibits and vehicles. Around the display area are many static exhibits, display tents and trade stands. There is also a fairground.

Visitors are welcome to walk round and chat to the many friendly exhibitors who are always happy to talk about their exhibit, explain things, answer questions and offer advice.

There are always excellent catering facilities selling a wide range of delicious food and of course there is the essential beer tent. There are ample toilet facilities.

Come early and stay all day. There is something at the rally for everyone.

Member's interests and collections include steam traction engines and rollers, tractors and farm machinery, cars, motor and pedal cycles, commercial and military vehicles, stationary engines, models of all types and more.
