I happened to be passing and decided to pop in, and I'm glad I did. It's not cheap, but there's a lot more here than you might expect.
There are two buildings jam-packed with vehicles going back to the origins of the motor car. There are a range of themed exhibitions as well as activities to try out.
As well as the cars you might expect to see, there's also a wide variety of concept and novelty vehicles.
For me, it was a bit like walking down memory lane seeing cars from my past, all in all a great way to spend a few hours.

This is a petrol head must.
Amazing array of Great British car history with a surprising number of very special vehicles.
Get up close but don't touch... The glass is not here! Examples worth millions but not tucked in a case.
This place can easily take a full day.
Refreshments or a full meal available too at the restaurant.
Amazing museum to visit, the collection of true British cars is astounding! A true "must visit" for any petrol head!
Knowledgeable staff full of less known trivia are located around the site. Everything is disabled friendly with wheelchairs available for those with extra needs.
The only slight downside is if you go with older guests who may decide to point out the cars they and their mates used to own, of course this just adds to the experience and learning about such beautiful old cars and how they interacted in Society!
If I could give this 10 stars I would. If you like cars this place is ideal. There’s so much to look at here it’s just absolutely awesome. Staff here very friendly and helpful.
A very nice experience either if you are a car lover or just if you want to have a nice experience. There are several hundred cars, old and new models. Also you can find famous car models, from various movies. The complete tour consists from 2 large buildings. Expect spending 2-3 hours as a quite fast tour but if you want to spend more time on the details, than expect 5-6 hours. Each model of car has details presented available in english language (of course) to read. The staff around is really nice and polite and from some you can get nice extra informations about car models. Plenty of parking place available; it is free parking. There is also a child playground available outside. Also cars and engines are sectioned so you can see the details inside.
A very good place to spend the day. There’s lots of motor cars. You won’t believe there were so many British cars. It’s a walk down there history of British motoring.
They have a good cafe, both hot and cold food is served here. There is lots of spaces for cars and bikes.
This is a fascinating museum for anyone that appreciates vehicles manufactured in Britain.
It contains a fascinating collection of cars with many having a comprehensive poster giving many interesting items of interest relating to it.
The collection includes cars previously used or owned by members of the Royal family and previous Prime Ministers.
It is cheaper to purchase tickets in advance and also you can elect to have your ticket upgraded to an annual pass.

This is an excellent motor museum with nearly 400 vehicles on site. The museum is split in to two parts (large buildings). The main museum area and in a separate building a further collection of cars including prototypes and a viewing area for the workshops. There are on site tours, a small cinema showing various motor related film clips and a cafe with a large seating area and a good selection of food and drink. There are some hands on things to try which all helps understand the workings of a car. All areas and facilities are clean and tidy the staff are all very welcoming and helpful. My first visit was in July and in our time there just about finished the main building There is do much to see and if you want a crafty sit down pop in to the cinema to watch a movie. We have Premium membership for the year which to be honest l recommend you get as you can look at things at a slower pace knowing that you can go back any time in the year time and time again you also get discounts in the cafe and shop. 20% l think. Fantastic day and l look forward to my next visit

British Motor Museum…
Well, I had visited as a part of Ford Nationals this year, and thought it’ll be rude not to check out the British vehicles they had in store.
I was blown away by the amount of vehicles that was on display, and the plaques with the significance of each individual one (which also included the specs too). Being a German car enthusiast, I was genuinely opened up by what Britain had engineered and designed for our roads.
The staff were A1 and extremely educational and helpful, the gift shop showcased some cool little goodies too.
My favourite was in the other building, which housed Jags downstairs and loads of awesome concepts and oddballs upstairs.
I strongly recommend paying a visit!
Cheers for reading - Nathan.
Absolutely brilliant day out, and I do mean a whole day. Fantastic.
Staff were amazingly friendly, cafe was really good, great food and drink choice and all done so well.
A big thumbs up.
