A nostalgic journey through time with great cars and historical events that shaped the British car industry explained via a Pda & headset.
A great way to while a few hours away, The cafe is also excellent with a good choice of food. I Definitely recommend this journey.

A really good collection very well curated and presented, with audio-visual information providing a general overview and also the opportunity to drill down interactively into the level of detail which suits the individual and items of particular interest. I've been to a lot of motor museums over the years and this is certainly one of the very best.

Considering the Great British Car Journey Museum is just under 60 miles from where we live we had never heard of it until seeing it in Travelzoo. They had an amazing display of British cars mainly from the 1950's/60's all in amazing condition, so for a senior enthusiast it was like a child in a 'sweet shop'. If you had not owned one your father or a relative did. Very friendly and helpful staff and a great caffe at very reasonable prices.

It took me back to when I was young - especially seeing a car similar to the first one I drove.

We were welcomed by a lovely gentleman who explained how the museum worked and then gave us a mini iPad which gave us a huge amount of information on the way through the 9 chapters. There are a huge number of old British cars which bought back many happy memories between us all. The coffee afterwards in their inexpensive cafe rounded off a really wonderful few hours
