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

Visited on a Friday and it was very quiet therefore very easy to see all the cars on show and spend as much time on each as you want. The electronic guide was excellent although I prefer to just walk around and make my own way, that said some nuggets of knowledge would be missed.

A great day. Museum was excellent and the 1938 Wolseley that I drove was a real experience, demonstrating how motoring has advanced in nearly one hundred years!

One small point, the voucher I had indicated just turn up on the day and drive a car..... I phoned to check and was informed best to reserve a car in advance, which I did. To avod any disappointment, phone and book in advance !

Liked the idea of free headsets for audio commentary and QR codes to learn more about each car. Plenty of free parking and a nice little cafe for refreshments and a well earned sit down.
