British Motor Museum

Fantastic day out. The day we went there was also a Jaguar meeting so there was not only the hundreds of cars in the show, but hundreds outside too. Opted to do gift aid and got 12 months return tickets which makes it great value. Ended up spending most of the day their and there was lots of interesting bits to keep my 5 and 7 year old interested too (they are into classic cars anyway). Plenty of benches outside to eat food you have brought yourself. All in all a lovely day and we will be making a return journey when there's another event on. We purchased tickets in advance at the discounted price and this made entry very quick. Just show the tickets and enter.

We visited the British Motor Museum in early September. At first, I thought £20 was quite expensive, but given how much time I spent there, I think it is very reasonable. Especially as the ticket lasts a whole year. The museum is easy to get to and find, and there is plenty of parking. There are plenty of things for families too. Small ride-along cars are available for children right at the entrance, and there’s also a small interactive play/games section to keep them entertained. The sheer number of cars is quite amazing, and even after spending a couple of hours here, it felt like we could have easily stayed much longer. The staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. One gentleman gave us a fascinating and detailed explanation of the Model T Ford, which really added to the experience. Overall, this is a great museum with a lot to offer. I highly recommend visiting.

What a find! I passed the sign on a recent holiday and thought I'd stop on the way back. So glad that I did. The history here is amazing. If you like cars, stop in. You won't regret it. The onsite cafe was good as well. Museum staff were friendly and knew their stuff

We had a wonderful day out at the British Motor Museum with six of our residents. It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and lovely memories. We would like to give our heartfelt thanks to Ian and Thomas, the amazing staff who went above and beyond to make our visit truly special. Their friendliness, patience, and passion for the museum brought every exhibit to life. They took the time to connect with each of our residents, sharing fascinating stories and facts, and making everyone feel included, valued, and completely at ease. A special thank you also to Sophie in the café, who took our orders and served us with such care and kindness. Her warm smile and attentive service made the lunch experience just as enjoyable as the museum itself. We are so grateful for the hospitality and support we received. It was a memorable day for our residents and team, and we are already looking forward to visiting again.

Visited the site for modified/tuning car show. Admission ticket for the show included access to the two museums. Nice to look around old British cars, some cars from the 80-90s which I grew up with as a child and found particularly nice to look at and learn about. Jaguar museum has a lot of concept cars which never made production, but you can see the influences gained from or passed onto road-going cars. Some first and last production cars off production lines in factories that no longer exist.

A place that is definitely worth visiting! A huge collection of cars, from the beginning of the automobile industry to record-breaking racing cars. A special wow - cars from the films, Ford Anglia from Harry Potter, DeLorean from "Back to the Future", several James Bond cars etc. Cars that belonged to the Royal hlHouse, and a very large collection of Jaguars and Land Rovers. You can sit in a small number of cars. Including a 2022 Bentley Bentayga EWB worth 200,000+ pounds (all interior equipment included and working). If the museum had the ability to also let you inside a few racing/speed cars, it would be absolutely incredible. Tickets are cheaper to buy in advance and are valid for the whole year.

We visited the British Motor Museum for the first time in August and enjoyed it so much that we went back in January using the annual pass included in the ticket price. It’s clearly signposted on the way in, so getting there was easy. There is little ride-along cars available for children at the entrance. You can push them around the museum while you explore, and our kids loved it. It kept them engaged and made the whole day easier. Even after spending an around 2 hours there on our first visit, we felt like we had only scratched the surface. There’s a lot to take in, and the second visit definitely didn’t feel like a repeat. There was a guided tour which we didn’t expect. The lady was very interesting and made a real effort with the kids. As part of the tour, we also got to go inside one of the old buses and other cars that are normally off limits. We ate at the cafe on our first visit and food was very nice and fairly priced. If you bring your own lunch, there’s also a picnic area with indoor seating. Parking was straightforward. There’s a big car park right outside and we had no issues getting a space. The whole place felt very accessible too, with lifts and wide walkways that made it easy to get around with a pushchair.

This was a brilliant museum, especially for my car loving husband! At first, I thought £20 was a little pricey, but actually, we were there over 4 hours, and the ticket last a whole year!! Incredible value for money if you are anywhere close. The number of cars is overwhelming, so much to see and read. The guides are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. I wasn't sure I was ever going to get my husband out!! Highly recommended museum!

I like this Museum, even if it's small. It doubles as JLRs conference center, so expect laptops in the cafeteria - the Junction 12 Cafe, that is off M40 btw. This place shows like few others the interconnected history between so many European car manufacturers. And the midlands scenery around is worth a look around in any weather as well. Aston Martin"s Lagonda is just around the corner as well. Come next year and get a glimpse of "The Triangle".

The scale of the museum and wide collection of cars here is phenomenal! Was first time here after coming once it was refurbished out and the collection centre built. The collection centre has a floor dedicated to Jaguar vehicles owned by the Jaguar Heritage Trust and includes cars from a Jaguar fire car with a foam system in the rear to the fastest Jaguar XF they have built with a top speed of 225MPH - the staff and volunteers there were all enthusiastic always willing to talk and even spoke to you first which gives a warm welcoming feeling. Museum also includes movie props such as FAB 1 from Thunderbirds (2004) as well as the Delorean from Back to the Future and a prop car from James Bond Skyfall and a Cab from Judge Dredd. If you gift-aid your ticket purchase you also get a free ticket to return as much as you like within the 12 months of you buying your ticket(s). Only recommendation is that with Aston Martin just next door and with that huge proving ground behind the Collection Centre that they don't have more Aston Martins on show or have a viewing platform within the Collection centre to see over the crest of the hill and down onto the proving ground below which could be accessible to watch Aston Martin put some of their cars around the track.
