        Museum on the Move

        Exclusive Members' only event

        Museum on the Move is an annual exclusive Members only event where we showcase a selection of cars from the collection and Members get the opportunity to ride in them. Designed to bring the collection to life and for Members to get up close to some of our fabulous cars. Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells as we fire up the engines to experience nearly a century of motoring history.

        Comments from the evening

        "thanks to all concerned. Loved tonight. All your staff were spot on and helped make the evening so memorable.
        It was a privilege to experience all the cars, but the veteran cars and the 6R4 were definitely something special."

        "Many thanks for a truly enjoyable evening last Friday at the museum on the move event.  It was a real privilege
        to be able to experience the vehicles in such a close up way and actually travel in them...  
        I was particularly interested in the iconic HUE 166 and am grateful to  the museum for making a dream become a reality"
        Peter
