The Motor Museum in Beaulieu is very impressive. It is on the grounds of an estate, with an Abbey or some other history stuff, but of course, it is the things with motors that are most important.
It was the 50th Anniversary of the movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" and there was a display for that. I dobn't consider that a car subject, so that is on a separate page.
I tried to cut down on the number of photos I took, and this place was easier than some. There were TONS of interesting and historical cars, but the things that were interesting were the rarity, or story behind them. For the most part, the cars and bikes would not make especially unique photos, at least considering all the other vehicle museums I have been to on my recent trips. Still, I ended up with a lot of pics, but here are only a few.
TOP GEAR - You may remember from the show where they made a Reliant Robin Space Shuttle. Here it is.
