History of British cars - I brought my 16 year old son to see Silverstone race museum and decided to take him to the British Motor Museum to let him see the world of cars and it was amazing to see so many cars in one place was terrific fun

A good day for car enthusiasts - I visited on the Easter bank holiday Saturday and thought it would be very busy. Parking was easy and the reception was quick, I found it a very relaxed atmosphere and was able to look at each vehicle without the feeling of being rushed. I visited the café and had a lovely sandwich and a drink. The staff are very friendly and helpful and willing to have a chat. I think it is well worth the money.

Good day out - Great place, lots to see . I went here with my partner & it was really good. Lots of cars & information. The staff were brilliant. I have mobility problems & a staff member noticed & offered me a wheelchair. They have a cafe , however its very expensive! Apart from that, its definitely worth the money

British Motor Museum - A lovely mixture of vehicles from the late 19th century to present day, detailing the transformation from horse drawn stagecoach to modern day. Plenty of interesting exhibits to spark memories, and demonstrate the history of midlands motor car manufacture. Hats off to the person who designed the surfaces that displayed the vehicles on the time road - from rutted mud to ashphalt. Very clever.

IF ONLY - Reliving my youth as I have owned some of the cars on show unfortunately none of the more exotic models I did try once to buy a Lotus Europa but could only get on leg in.

despite some missing models, an excellent day out. - Excellent museum. Plenty to see. clean and modern environment. friendly staff. Good and realistically priced food from cafe, but small selection of hot food. Downsides. Not many interactive experiences. Only one vehicle that one could sit in. Many vehicles one might expect to see were missing. [ ford escort, ford 100 series, hilman superminx, humber sceptre, humber hawk and supersnipe, austin devon....to name but a few. Overall a well priced, value for money day out...thank you.

One Jaguar is just like the other 300 - Far too much emphasis on Jaguar and Land Rover. Should be called the JLR heritage with a sprinkle of the rest. There were over 500 different manufacturers in the UK. Some merged to form bigger groups. Most have gone. Over the years though there were many different models, some familiar to us all and some unknown. The stories of these marques should be told. There is a small mention of the industrial action at Longbridge and a room dedicated to William Morris and Herbert Austin that’s closed, due to open in March but not open in March. Small evidence of Vauxhall and Ford but that’s more or less it. The collection room where cars are stored was much more interesting, and much busier which says it all really. Choose to represent British Motor Heritage or choose JLR but let everyone know before they go.
