Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon - is it good?

[retrogeezer]

I'm going on Sunday, just wondered if anyone has been?

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.

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

I was there then! The Italian folk were a bit sniffy about it I recall

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.

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.

Cheers, it looks like a bin trip will be out though looking at the poxy weather.How much was the food?? We can take stuff if it's too much.

I'd recommend it as well, a good day out with a nice selection of cars plus a lot of other interesting 'stuff'

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.

That sounds alright.....as long as it's not a £12 for 2 coffees and a muffin like the services!I'll take some photos....(not of the food obviously!)

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
