A nostalgic collection of cars that the older generation can relate to, plus some less familiar models. The handset gave as much information as you’d need. An enthusiast could easily spend a whole day there and the cafeteria does well for drinks, snacks, lunches.

We didn't know what to expect so were pleasantly surprised. Cars are in excellent condition, was good to reminisce about earlier cars we had owned. Good to see the special cars too like Vera's land rover!
Staff were all friendly. Lunch was ok.
The voucher made it worthwhile, think it's expensive admission without the voucher

Excellent way to spend 3 or 4 hours, about 140 cars to see, you are given an audio journey through the exhibits and you are also able to scan qr to discover the history of each model.
It is well laid out with plenty of space to wander around at your own pace, the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly.
There is quite a large car park available plus a cafe which serves reasonably priced good and drinks, there is also merchandise for sale if you wish to take a momento home with you.
Overall it was a very enjoyable day out and would happily visit again.

Very welcoming staff with a lovely restaurant. We ate there and had a free drinks voucher with the Travelzoo deal. The audio giving the history and detailed stories of some cars was also beautiful.

A tablet and headset were provided that gives the history behind all the years production of the various British cars. A QR code could be scanned by your tablet that gave you the details of that particular car and some of the history behind it.

You could take as long as you like looking at the various cars on display. A cafe that provided food a refreshments allowed you to take a break from viewing and then return. All the staff were friendly and very helpful.
