The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu houses over 250 cars and tells the story of the motor car from its early beginnings right up to the present day.
Exhibits include some of the earliest examples of motoring to legendary World Record Breakers like Bluebird, ‘Film Star’ cars like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. For a different perspective of the historic racing cars, modern rally cars, British Superbikes and latest F1 machines, view the collection from a new mezzanine gallery designed to enhance the display.
Within the museum a 1930s garage has been constructed which is complete down to the last nut, bolt and rusty drain pipe. The garage is a complete fabrication but all the fixtures, fittings and tools are genuine artifacts that have been collected over a period of 25 years.
Over the next few days I will be showing a small number of the vehicles that are housed there.
That’s your latest car in the top pic, no?
In my dreams
I’ve always admire the Royal Royce..but it’s out of my network.
Coffee is on
This one belongs to the Silver Cloud. I would love to go for in spin in her
On my granddad’s farm he had 2 old cars from the 1940s that were unbelievable! I was offered an Old Daimler for dirt cheap when there that I should have bought. That was a beauty!
Is that old garage in the museum to scale?
I LOVE cars!
Yes the garage is full scale. I have taken it from above which makes it look like a model rather life size.
