THE BEST OF

BRITISH!

The British Motor Museum at Gaydon is well worth a visit for anyone with an interest in engines and engineering …
Based at Gaydon, just off junction 12 of the M40 between Oxford and Birmingham, the Museum and Collections Centre at the British Motor Museum house the extensive collections of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust. This is the body which cares for the largest collection of historic British cars in the world, along with an archive containing more than a million objects, �rom photographs and film, to publicit� material and technical records.
As well as an awesome array of superbly preserved or fully restored vintage, classic and historic British cars and other related automotive memorabilia, we found a fascinating number of technical engine displays, many featuring elaborate cutaways to show the internal workings.
�ere we��e presented just a �ew o� the most significant displa�s, photographed and noted in just a few hours while on our return journey from the visit to Lotusbits in Warwickshire and we guarantee that an�one with an interest in engines and engineering will find a similar visit well worthwhile, even better if you can devote a whole day to it …
