The 16th Annual Torquay Motorshow returned to the stunning waterfront at Elephant Walk on Sunday 8 February 2026, delivering another outstanding display of automotive excellence along the Surf Coast. Proudly presented by the Rotary Club of Torquay, the much-loved community event once again drew strong crowds and an impressive lineup of vehicles.
Set against the coastal backdrop of Elephant Walk, the show transformed the foreshore into a vibrant celebration of motoring history and modern performance. Rows of polished chrome and gleaming paintwork stretched along the parklands as enthusiasts, families and visitors soaked up the relaxed summer atmosphere.
While the cars are the headline attraction, the Torquay Motorshow is about far more than horsepower. Held annually in February, the event plays a vital role in supporting local initiatives and charitable projects through the Rotary Club. Funds raised from the 2026 show will once again be directed back into the community, helping make a meaningful and lasting difference.
Families wandered the displays, photographers captured standout builds, and the steady hum of conversation blended with the occasional rumble of an engine. The coastal setting, warm February conditions and welcoming atmosphere combined to create a relaxed yet lively day for all who attended.
The 16th edition of the Torquay Motorshow once again cemented its place as a highlight on the regional events calendar — a perfect mix of cars, community spirit and seaside charm.
