    GERARD_C, Mar 2026
    Fantastic experience lovely to see all the cars young and old in fantastic condition, the exhibition employees where very knowledgeable and helpful during our visit,would really recommend it .

    Fantastic visitor experience

    John_S, Jul 2025
    It is just a brilliant museum, if you are in any way into cars . So many specialist ones , and the ones all or most of us would know , likely from ownership. All totally immaculately presented , with narrative descriptions and history. It takes a fair while to look around there is so much on display. An excellent , and in my opinion , fairly priced cafe there as well , with quality food. Very friendly and professional staff. I would highly recommend this and well, well worth a visit. ☺️

    A fascinating collection

    Peter_T, Apr 2025
    Great location and a beautiful complex of buildings with plentiful parking. The collection is first class and not only contains the development of British car making, but also includes many iconic film cars and prototypes all imaginatively displayed. The Jaguar collection is also superb

    Car heaven

    Brought my 13yr old grandson to Gaydon. He's become a bit of a car fanatic! We were both impressed with the wide selection of amazing cars. The Jaguar collection was a bonus!

    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

    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.

    Had a great time. The staff are very knowledgeable especially the chap in the jag collection. Plus the mince pies in the canteen were fantastic

    I like older motors.

    Ron_H, Nov 2023
    The whole visit was a pleasure, I went to check on the older series Land Rover just make sure I was putting mine together in some sort of order. I wasn't disappointed, I found a few of them. The rest was worth seeing too.

    Enjoyable couple of hours

    Anthony_G, Oct 2023

    Great opportunity to see the development of the motor vehicles over the decades

    Maureen_P, Mar 2023
    We were welcomed to the Museum by a very friendly member of staff who gave us a comprehensive initial introduction to the facilities and tours available. As we progressed into the exhibition hall the vehicles were extremely great well displayed with comprehensive information for each model. We progressed through the exhibitions from Prototypes to production models through the decades etc we were totally impressed with the whole experience. The refreshment area and toilet facilities were excellent, as was the whole presentation of this wonderful new building. We enjoyed the knowledgable lady tour guide, most informative. We look forward to our next visit.

    Enjoyable day out!

    Victoria_S, Mar 2023

    The museum was much bigger than we expected. So many lovely cars!!! Very well displayed and loads of information. My husband had a real trip down memory Lane and came away with a yearning for a Jaguar concept car.

    Great place for car lovers

    Justin_w, Nov 2022
    2nd visit. Love the place! All the staff are very friendly and helpful, cafe has great cake! The staff you see around the exhibits are all very knowledgeable and happy to answer questions

    Fantastic day out.

    Jackie_E, Aug 2022
    Loved seeing old cars that were part of our past. Jaguar weekend on, beautiful cars. Friendly welcome and staff.

    Excellent venue, guide Jim made it extra special

    DrA_G, Jul 2022
    We joined a tour lead by Jim and it really brought the experience to life, Jim had a fantastic knowledge of the cars, their history and lots of amusing anecdotes along the way. And as a bonus, because we were under his supervision, we got to sit in/on some of the cars too. We also visited the JL heritage centre too, lots more cars but sadly no Jim to entertain us. Well worth a visit, a little off the beaten track but easy to find and free parking.

    Top day out
