This museum is pretty close to where I now live and is worth visit - but it is only open to group visits by arrangement.

It's not a museum thats laid out for casual visitors - it's more a group of Barns where old cars etc have been driven in and left there but there is some interest stuff like the Original Donald Campbell Bluebird and a mock up of the one that crashed - The World's first racing motor bike - loads of od cars in running order - others being restored - the Beatles first band wagon - and race cars. The owner does hill climbs and other events. It's all a bit dusty - has to be a couple of hundred items at least....... It's like a big barn find.

The Go Kart track is it's main income.
