Haynes International Motor Museum

The prestigious Haynes International Motor Museum at Sparkford in Somerset offers fantastic family fun whatever the weather. With more than 400 cars and bikes displayed in stunning style, dating from 1885 to the present day, it is the UK’s largest exhibition of great cars from around the world.

For those interested in a nostalgic trip down memory lane, the museum offers a host of familiar names such as Austin, MG, and Morris. Those who are seeking something more exotic will be pleased to find a vast array of performance cars, from modern classics such as the Dodge Viper RT10 and the Jaguar XJ220, to the more historic Jaguar E Type and AC Cobra. Also on show is a large collection of American cars, including the jewels in the crown of Haynes – the V16 Cadillac, and the multi-million-dollar Duesenberg.

This museum is well worth a visit for the car fanatic. It has recently undergone a refurbishment so everything is still very new and clean. The museum is divided up into several halls of cars and has a good selection of British, American and European cars which have been maintained in pristine condition by the museum. There are a number of knowledgeable volunteer guides on hand to discuss all aspects of the cars histories and museum. There is a well stocked shopped with variable priced goods to suit every pocket. A great day out for young and old!
