National Motor Museum
The National Motor Museum has one of the greatest collections of cars currently in the UK. If you are interested in cars used on television, motor racing or world land speed records it is all here. Pride of place is the James Bond collection featuring the actual cars used in the 1970's 1980's and 2000's.
You are also able to see Mr. Beans mini from the popular television TV series, or if something a bit faster is your cup of tea there is the supercar exhibition. The museum has also constructed a typical 1930's garage scene using genuine artefacts collected over a period of many years. This is a truly wonderful exhibition not to be missed.
