About
Quick facts: Step inside to see more than 110 vintage vehicles, from a 1928 Ford Model A to a 1960s Cadillac, arranged like a moving timeline. Expect to notice shiny chrome, leather seats, and a faint petrol smell while curator notes and original accessories tell stories about owners, races, and restorations.
Highlights: Visitors who time their visit well hear a 1934 Ford V8 started for a 90-second demonstration, the engine's 85-decibel roar and warm exhaust scent making the entire hall resonate. Curator Anil Shah keeps a surprising habit of preserving handwritten maintenance logs and a glovebox stash of 12 original letters from a 1950s film star, each signed and dated, adding a personal, human element to the metal and chrome.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable flat shoes, exhibits span multiple levels and some ramps.
- Visit on a weekday morning to dodge school groups and get clearer photos.
- Ask staff about cars that allow close-up photos, some vehicles can be photographed under supervision.
- Focus on the royal coaches and race car row if short on time; skip the longer guided commentary unless you want detailed history.
