retrogeezer Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I'm going on Sunday, just wondered if anyone has been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reallyloud Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I have! I have! Some neat prototypes there, as well as the usual sand glow and tahati blue coloured gems - the collection is rarely updated, so a visit once every 10 years should just about do it - quite pricey but the staff are pretty good and it is good full day out. I would also strongly recommend you try and pop into Coventry city centre to the visit the transport museum - its free too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
155V6 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I went about 5 or 6 years ago,it was pretty good then.We actually went for an Italian car meeting which was held outside the front,it was only when we went round the back that we discovered a small gathering of Maxis having their own meeting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pompei Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I was there then! The Italian folk were a bit sniffy about it I recall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew e Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Have a good nose round the bins at the back, some strange stuff parked outside last time I was there. Upstairs there are some good styling bucks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'll recommend too. Some great oddities there for nosing at, thoroughly enjoyed it when we went as part of the 'RR G 08' event. Plus they have plenty to keep younger shiters amused too esp the electronic top trumps. Really good tuck available at the caff too. Not hugely cheap but you don't really feel done over because it's better than th usual stale museum fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'd recommend it as well, a good day out with a nice selection of cars plus a lot of other interesting 'stuff' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 How much was the food?? We can take stuff if it's too much.Not sure, fizzy pop for me, non-fizzy pop for Poglet Maximus, plus sarnies & cakes each was under a tenner, which is good going for one of these places.

Owain-328i Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I went about 10 years ago. Enjoyed it, good day out, plenty to see and do. Also went out in the landrover driven around the 4x4 track, that was fun although only a passenger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
