A very enjoyable visit - it provoked lots of memories and new things learnt. You don't need to be a car enthusiast as this gem will provide interest to young and old. Fascinating collection of items and the stories about them are brilliant.

We really enjoyed looking at all the amazing cars from the past and the audio that went with it. Fascinating insight into the car industry. The cafe there was really nice and the gift shop too. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. A hidden gem.

A really good museum in a lovely setting. The vehicles were really good quality & some had QR Codes to scan to give you info on the vehicle including unique stories. Audio guide was very informative & interesting also. Didn’t eat at the cafe but it was very clean & food we did see looked good. Free hot drink was nice & a good bonus.

Really good that you can hire the cars for drives. Will definitely return. Lovely part of the country & 4 miles from the town of Ripley where you can tick off a Wetherspoons
