What's your favourite car museum?

My favourite is the Coventry Museum. Its home to the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus KKV 444V ;D

been beaulieu and gaydon

SKODA mesuem in CZ.

followed closely by the TATRA museum

The 'Zeithaus' at the Autostadt in Wolfsburg is worth a look, as is the VW Automuseum

The Sinsheim Auto & Technik museum is worth a look too

I've also been round Gaydon which is cool, and Beaulieu.

S'hard to pick a 'favourite' though... they are all excellent, but for different reasons....

however, on the strength of the SWB Sport quattro they have there, the Zeithaus shades it....

Coventrys a good one but I havent been there since the refit.

Gaydon is abit of a disapointment really and I havent been to Beaulieu for years.

Want to go to Stondon soon and it would be cool if we could get a few Retro Rides guys and girls to go together. NickB has told me theres a good pub near where we could get a Shandy after ;D

That van is cool, it was for made a French Newspaper, so they could sell from the back. I don't know whether the BX was production or not, any ideas? There was this amazing mobile cinema there as well.



I was lucky enough to go to the Petersen Museum in LA last year, although it was in a very cool building and there was some very, very cool cars... It was smaller than I thought, maybe no more than a 100 cars and two floors. Talking to somebody who knows, they say the real interesting stuff is in the three floors you can't get too being Jo Public. Oh well, here's some pics of that as well...

Other than the Glasgow museum, it's been ages since I was in a car museum. Glasgow's pretty good though, they have the first production Hillman Imp, a mk1 Mini, lots of pre-war British stuff, a late model two-stroke Trabant P601, a Volvo P1800, and loads of other interesting stuff, some commercials as well, there's a Post Office Moggy Minor van, an Austin mobile kitchen (supposedly for feeding undernourished kids in deprived areas of Glasgow just after the war into the 50s, since there were still slums in Glasgow and here in Inverclyde into the 60s)
