About
The Classic Car Collection was the brainchild of obsessive petrol-head Mr. Carol Galea, an avid and self-confessed car enthusiast. He first began customizing and building his own cars for local hill climbing races but his hobby evolved into a full-blown passion for classic cars. This is his personal tribute to the automobile industry – or as he puts it – it’s a ‘living and growing collection that spans more than 50 years of motor manufacturing’ The museum has approximately 60 Vehicles on display ranging from a Jaguars, Alfa Romeos, Fiats, MGs, Mercedes, Chevrolette, Ferrari, Bentley etc. They have all been carefully restored and lovingly preserved. There is also a Cinemas and a Motoring Library on site that one can explore.

    An amazing hidden gem!!
    Such an amazing hidden little gem. The gentleman who greeted us was so friendly and welcoming, we paid the entrance fee on arrival to the museum. Walking down the stair case and through the entrance gate is like going back in time. Everything is so well looked after with little information posts for the vehicles and just an overall amazing experience. Would definitely recommend and for €10 per adult it was definitely worth it!!

    A step back in time
    On a hot day we decided to have a look around the classic motor museum. It was easy enough to find, although I was surprised as it looked to be no more than a shop from albeit with a beautiful blue vintage car out front. We received a friendly greeting on arrival and were left to our own devices to look around the museum which was nice. All covid protocols were observed but did not detract from the experience. The museum is effectively the basement of the building and quite obviously a labour of love, sad to hear the founder had passed away in June 2021 but lovely to hear all his family are still involved and that his passion for vintage cars will carry on. Beautifully cared for and restored cars and a few motorbikes fill the areas of the basement. Enough information about each vehicle and the rest of the museum was filled with things from times gone. If you fancy seeing some beautiful vintage cars (look but don’t touch style of museum) or you are a car enthusiast you will happy fill an hour of time whilst in Malta.

    Great classic car museum
    A great little car collection with a varied range of old cars from British to Italian and even American. Entrance fee is very good at 10€ each. The restoration level on their barn find is amazing and you can even see into the workshop to see what is in progress. An hour would be enough to get a good look round. There is a cinema room but that wasn’t showing when we visited.

Located conveniently near the Terminus of the 212 bus, in Qawra, the museum is located beneath a block of flats in Tourist Street. Entry is 10 euros pp but well worth it. There is a fine collection of automobiles including Jaguars and Alfa Romeos etc several interesting short films and a cinema which was showing the history of the Mille Miglia . You can also view the Restoration Area where three guys were working on an Alfa Romeo Spider.

Excellent little place…..hidden away in the back streets but easy enough to find and is literally a few minutes from main bus stop.
If you love cars, especially classics this place is a must. Very happy to pay the €10 entrance fee as it’s evident the amount of love, effort and dedication that has been put into this collection.
There’s also lots of other nostalgic memorabilia from over the decades that refreshes the memories of old.
There’s also a small cinema room playing films of old car races etc.
Great visit all round and even my 75 year old mother enjoyed it! Thank you.

We visited here on a very hot day with our two kids - 6 and 8. I like cars, but wouldn’t say I’m an enthusiast. However, it was only 15 mins walk from our hotel (The Dolmen) and there aren’t many attractions in and around Bugibba! It was EUR 30 for the 4 of us, so not the most expensive excursion by any means. However, given the age of the kids, we were around the whole place twice in 40 mins then it was time to go!

The cars really are beautiful though - especially the Jaguar E-type that has been lovingly restored, which really is a thing of beauty. If you’re a car enthusiast, you’ll really get a kick out of the collections on display here.

Entrance fee reasonable. Liked this museum as lots of interesting things to see and the cars were really well displayed in themes. Lots of classics to see from Fords, Fiats, Jags, Minis and evening American. Loved the Morris mini commercial pick up. There is a restoration garage at the back which is good to watch .. the levels of quality is amazing.

A very enjoyable couple of hours spent at the classic car museum. Myself and my wife had a tour and it was brilliant my wife is not into cars but enjoyed the experience as it's not just cars there are loads of other exhibits of the era like household gadgets etc from former decades. We also had a good chat with one of the restorers and the guy on the door who were very informative. €10 well spent

When on holiday in Malta we always try to visit as the exhibits change from year to year. However on our last visit we were delighted to attend a special tour with wine and cheese. The tour was hosted by the owner who pointed out his favourites and told us fascinating stories about some of them, especially those with which he has a personal connection.

My advice is, when you visit, don't just look at the cars, look at the posters on the walls. These will give you the background to the exhibits.

You can easily spend half a day here if you are a classic car enthusiast. The highlight may be if the owner is around and you get to talk with him

When we approached the museum, it looked incredibly small and uninteresting, apart from the Bugatti parked outside. However, when we got in, we were staggerd at the size and the number of vehicles. They had many of my favourites, including Ferrari's, Corvette Stinrays and even a Rolls. We could have stayed there all day. The collection of E-Types made my mouth water. You cannot miss this place and you don't have to be a motorhead to appreciate it.

This place is like a Tardis, vast space inside. Well kept cars probably in running order. I spoke to the owner who personally drives the display racing car every day. It is parked outside the building and is bright blue. To find the museum just look for that car.

A place not to be missed.

Spent a fantastic few hours wandering through this beautiful museum. The vast array of rare and desirable vehicles was a sight to behold. This lovingly put together collection is a credit to the owners and curators alike. I would highly recommend a trip down to see it, you won’t be disappointed.

Good museum and good for an hour or two. all exhibits in excellent condition. The only down side for me was the building was really quite stiffling and some sort of Aircon or fans might have helped.
Sensibly priced.
