What visitors say
This is one of my favourite museums in the entire country. My love for cars and all things. Motoring is definitely reaffirmed in this museum. It is a large museum with a plethora of interesting cars from different manufacturers and eras in history. It felt like heaven walking around and admiring all the greatest masterpieces from some of the best manufacturers. There is so much to see and read. This is so hard to do it all in one day. I would definitely be returning. Furthermore the cafe is good to stop off and grab a bite to eat and the toilets were extremely clean. The gift shop was also fun but a little bit expensive for my tastes so I only bought a few things. It was always nice to see the cars both inside the museum and some of the ones hidden in the car park too, and although I did come in a Japanese car, it's great to see so many enthusiasts in one place. I'm not sure if they always do this in the mezzanine, But I really was a big fan of the Forza horizon 6 section. If it is limited time, I'm glad I saw it, I absolutely loved the cars that were there. All of my favourite manufacturers and cars were here. My jaw was always dropped! Overall a brilliant place and I can't wait to go back.

We had gone to participate in the Gay Classic Car Group meet. Many dozens attended also admission included the amazing museum; this in itself is a great day out. We even got a glimpse of FAB 1 from Thunderbirds in the workshop before it goes on display. A thoroughly enjoyable day. Will need another visit to see everything we missed the first time. Not least was a great coffee shop, well worth a pertracted stopover.

A modern well laid out museum of British motoring. Highly recommended if your into motoring. Lots of unique vehicles. Spread over two large buildings. Nice shop and café. Plenty of parking. Entry price quite high but you get a year's access.

Had an amazing time at the British Motor Museum! The museum is absolutely incredible — so many beautiful classic and modern cars, and everything is very well organized. A great place for both car lovers and families. We also had a snack at the café — tasty food and very reasonable prices. The whole experience was enjoyable and definitely worth visiting. Highly recommend! 🚗✨
