Back by popular demand is the first of the season’s British Motor Museum Late events for Autumn 2023. The Museum will host an exclusive opportunity for visitors to look around the Collections Centre at a special evening on Tuesday 14 November from 5:30pm.

Visitors will have 3 hours to explore the 4,500m2 building which holds over 200 cars from the British Motor Museum and Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust’s collections. The building houses some of the oldest British cars, sports cars and one-off prototypes, some of which won’t be found anywhere else in the world.

A selection of these stunning vehicles will have bonnets, boots and doors opened so visitors can see more of the cars than they would during normal opening hours. The doors to the Workshop will also be open allowing visitors to see a side of the Museum not normally accessible to the public. Visitors can also meet the Curator of the British Motor Museum and the Vehicle Collection Manager of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust who will be hosting “What’s in the Workshop” talks outlining the cars currently being repaired or restored. Staff and volunteers will also be on hand to share their invaluable knowledge on the range of cars.

Jeff Coope, Managing Director at the British Motor Museum said, “We’re delighted to be hosting our first Late Evening this Autumn to give visitors a rare opportunity to see the Collections Centre and a ‘behind the scenes’ insight into how we store and preserve our stunning collection of vehicles.”
