Overview
An introduction to Great British Car Journey Museum
"Great British Car Journey is a different kind of car museum. Instead of just looking at cars behind ropes, you'll discover an interactive, story-led journey through the rise, fall and rebirth of the British motor industry. We have over 150 classic cars on display which are brought to life by audio/visual guides. It's a nostalgic trip through motoring history"
The Great British Car Journey car collection is a result of Richard Usher's realisation that the popular cars of his childhood, youth and even middle age have all but disappeared.
“My earliest car memories are of my Dad's Morris Minor which was followed by a Singer Gazelle Convertible and then a Ford Corsair. I remember sitting in the back of an Austin A40 in which my Mum was learning to drive and her first proper car which was a Vauxhall Viva HA.”
All the above are now exceedingly rare but so are the cars of the 70s ,80s and 90s : the Escorts, Cortinas, Sierras...etc etc etc.
Just seeing these cars again opens the door to waves of nostalgia but wouldn't it be even better if our visitors could have a go behind the wheel?
