What visitors say
Mainly visited to see the Top Gear Special cars. It is brilliant to be able to see the cars and vehicles up close. The P45, The boat cars, Geoff and so much more. I also enjoyed seeing the collection of local cars, bikes and other stuff. The staff on duty 10th June, were all friendly and welcoming - with genuine interest in their job and museum. There were was only a few other people there, so almost had it to ourselves. I highly recommend adding this museum to your itinerary when in the local area.

Such an amazing place to visit. The staff were so friendly and really made my niece’s visit fun with their interactions. Lots to see. We saw a lot from Too Gear but also there were some vehicles you could sit in as well. Overall, definitely recommend.

This absolute gem of a museum was recommended to us. It was a brilliant day out with lots to see, a great gift shop and lovely wee cafe. They had quite a lot of cars etc from Top Gear and even the indestructible hilux. Can't tell you how much we enjoyed seeing them all. Staff are super friendly, helpful snd knowledgeable and there is so much parking so added bonus. Lovely wee town and such a great drive to it. Would recommend and return
