A great place to visit for the history of car manufacturing in Britain. Takes you along the timeline of manufacturers, covers racing, including Jaguar F1, many fine examples of the heyday of UK car production. Ideal for families. I recently went to an excellent evening presentation with Ian Callum, who designed many iconic British cars, like the Aston Martin DB7, as well as many others which didn't make production; a very interesting take on car design with anecdotes from motor racing as well. The displays have examples of rarities and prototypes such as the Jaguar XJ 13, X-C75, Vauxhall XVR & SRV , Ronart Lightning, and the incredible Rover-BRM gas turbine Lemans car, driven by Graham Hill, and finished 8th on debut. Close to the M40.

Great museum, loads to see. The Aston Martin DB5 is a real treat. Don't need to be a petrolhead to enjoy it. We did the free tour to start off the visit. Robin the tour guide was excellent, really knowledgeable and engaging. Tour lasted 45 min which is a good length. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon looking around at our leisure.

A fantastic collection of cars across the history of British car manufacturing. We had a very knowledgeable guide to show us around which added hugely to the experience. Lots of first and last car types and one offs. If you drive a car, this has something for you.
