An enjoyable experience, with lots of stunning examples of British motoring history on display, a 4/5 star experience. The EV charging infrastructure is a complete let down:
There are lots of 'NewMotion' EV chargers, however these are very old style chargers that have little to no information about how to use them, nor provide an indication of what charge rate or costs.
Upon arrival, I was the first EV driver, and tried, but failed to charge from one of the units, the device was not online with the 'NewMotion'. I then tried another device, this time it 'successfully' claimed it registered my

I'd say this is the finest example's of a very well run museum from staff at the entrance to the cafe. As for the cars, plenty of them to view without any nuisance ropes to keep you away from the cars. If you have no interest or dislike nostalgia it won't be for you. The food at the cafe looks and tastes great, soup, jackets etc. Thank you for a super day out.... well-done to all staff.

If you like old British cars this is a must do museum. Very professional layout, everything has been displayed with minimal barriers so you can get up close to the vast array of exhibits all of which have a special story to tell. For example, last Austin mini made and first BMW mini made, more jaguar cars than I care to mention, cars owned by the Royal family, prototypes and one off production specials etc etc etc. Plenty of cars from the land rover toy box, lots of British Leyland (and before) cars all of which are interesting even if you are not a petrol head. Plus a nice cafe so what's not to

Dropped into the museum after a couple of days in Stratford upon Avon. Never visited before but was very impressed with the variety and quality of the vehicles on display. Some very interesting prototypes that never saw the road in anger. Some wonderful historic motorsport vehicles including the iconic Monte Carlo winning Minis. The Heritage centre was also amazing. If you like cars…you will love the museum.

Visited the British Motor Museum today, it’s a fantastic place. We spent 6 hours and could go back tomorrow and still find cars and info we had missed. Spread over two large buildings, with a wide variety of new and old cars, interactive activities and displays, this museum is really well laid out and has ample facilities. The restaurant is great, the food is lovely and it has a gluten free menu too (great as my little lad has gluten intolerance and eating out isn’t always easy). The staff are all really, really friendly throughout but in particular, on entering the museum, we were met with
