Welcome to the Devon
Traction Engine, Veteran & Vintage Car 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.
