BRITISH MOTOR MUSEUM
As the name might suggest, the British Motor Museum at Gaydon is home to the world’s largest collection of classic British cars. It opened as the Heritage Motor Centre in May 1993, amalgamating the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust’s collection of cars and artefacts, which had outgrown its two locations in Warwickshire and London. Since then, the venue has been expanded several times. All told, more than 400 cars now span a wide range of eras, alongside a comprehensive archive and picture library, education and learning facility.
Recent new additions include cars from MG Motor UK’s collection and vehicles from Ford of Britain’s Heritage Fleet. The venue has also become the default location for motoring events, clubs and rallies, with a comprehensive calendar of shows that also includes entrance to the Museum and Collections Centre.
