A "small" garage really full of cars and motorcycles. The number of cars inside is incredible, it looks like Dr. Who's cabin. bigger inside than outside. It has fantastic and beautiful cars, an incredible variety. There are about 150 vehicles in total.

A great find and a worthy diversion whilst heading back from Torquay to Hertfordshire with fellow classic car owning friends…
The museum has a varied mix of cars, motorbikes and memorabilia…most owned by the owner and some donated…we had a lovely warm welcome and good nose around…An all round amazing place…
We parked in the local car park along with a great collection of Lotus’…when we got back they had gone and were replaced with an amazing collection of Hillman Imps…
A great destination for any classic car road trip !

Fantastic collection of cars / bikes. Lovely owner who greeted us and was anticipating our arrival. Great gem of a place to visit. Both our 14 and nearly 11 year old loved admiring the cars.

A hidden gem.i have driven past the museum several times over the last few years and thought to myself I must take a look at that at some point, only to forget all about it until the next time i drive past. I came across a review on trip advisor about the museum and it prompted me in to making a visit with an old friend who I worked with in the motor trade when I first started work. We had a very enjoyable time looking at the vehicles and reminiscing about the cars and even some of the customers names and even remembering a few of the repairs we had done back then.
The place is a credit to the owner who is a real enthusiast who seems to have a passion for what he has done and still has to do.
I am determined to make another visit as i don’t think you could ever take it all in , its a bit like an old master painting, every time you look at it you see something new. Plus it seems to be evolving all of the time.
Excellent couple of hours, very good value for money. Lovely Town as well. The car park is very near by and reasonably priced with decent toilets also. The drive to and from the town is very scenic also.

Fantastic collection of vintage cars and motorbikes on two levels in the old bus garage building. Well worth the visit.

Yes you can take photos. They do ask that you make a donation to charity. Their are many amazing vehicles to take photos off. So a donation is a pleasure.

There is a wheelchair lift I believe. But sadly there is limited space to get a wheelchair near to all the cars.

Does it have a cafe and toilets?

No, but there are three cafe's and toilets within sight. Moretonhampstead is very compact. There are also three food pubs also within the town and a few hundred paces.

Sorry I seem to have put a wrong review on your trip advisor and I can't seem to remove it . Hope you can as I don't believe you do Sunday lunch!

It seems you have got the wrong review. The Moretonhampstead Motor Museum does not do a Sunday lunch, it's a car museum only.
