The tour began at Deloraine on March 21, would see the cars travel to towns such as Chudleigh, Rosevale, and Mole Creek over four days.
Tour director Joe Clippingdale said so far, the tour had gone “reasonably well”.
“We had a couple of break downs today, but hopefully they’ll be back up and running tomorrow,” Mr Clippingdale said.
He said there was “a lot of tinkering” happening on Wednesday evening to get the cars ready for Thursday’s 105-kilometre trip to Bracknell.
One and two cylinder cars from all over Australia travelled to Tasmania for the event.
A major drawcard was a Sovereign motorcycle, which was manufactured by Wearne and Geard in Launceston in 1908.
Mr Clippingdale said the public were welcome to come and see the cars at Deloraine on Thursday evening about 8pm, or on Friday at Westbury’s village green at noon.
