A truly exceptional, out of this world and first class museum, which gives provides an absolute masterclass and masterpiece on the subjects of cars/automobiles delivering it in a timeless, wonderful and truly memorable fashion. It is definitely the best Motor Museum in the UK without a doubt and it is like stepping into a library of motors from the start of motoring right up to the present day it is that good. The building the motor cars are housed was opened by Lord Montagu in 1972 housing a variety of motor cars. The motors on display is such a vast array you lose count but some of the motors on display include Ford Model T, Ford Sierra Cosworth, Jaguar E Type, Lotus Esprit, Audi Quattro A2 1983, Rolls Royce Phantom 40/50 II 1933 and The Mini to but a few. There are some motorbikes and scooters on show and these include Ducati, Suzuki and Honda amongst others. All of the motors are displayed in such stunning fashion and are in outstanding condition showing the great work the museum does in looking after them. The museum details the story of how cars and other automobiles came about at the end of the 19th Century and beginning of the 20th Century and charters the story up to the modern day in an informative and interesting fashion amd includes some of the motors that raised the bar for manufacturing on a large scale and broke the speed record and these include Ford Model T and Jaguar E Type to name but a few. In the motorcycle section it covers their history and how they came into being and the records and achievements that have been broken along the way. You can wander into an old garage which is called John Tucker's Garage used at the start of the 20th Century and get an idea of what was like and there is an interesting section about Shell and their history with providing fuel for the cars. The great thing is you can get a great glimpse of the cars right up and close so you can get to really admire their beauty and build quality and their status as a car. In addition to all the other motors on shows there is an F1 car exhibition showcasing some of the more memorable F1 cars over the years so you can take in their excellence and how they were functioned and engineering to perform their necessary duties. There is an exhibition about the luxury of motoring and also an exhibition called On Screen Cars where you some of the famous cars from TV & Film and the highlights include Trotters 3 wheeled van from Only Fools and Horses, The Green Jaguar from the Bond Film Die Another Day and the Ford Anglia user in the Harry Potter film Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets. There is also a small tent you can wander in and see more cars from yesteryear and have sit inside them and these include a Vauxhall Cavalier, Ford Mondeo, Volkswagen Beetle, Renault Avantime and Ford Fiesta and these is very interactive and fun allowing people to have fond memories of these vehicles when they were active on the road. There is bus rides to enjoy on the resident Beaulieu bus which is amazing and these rides just take you around the site seeing the Palace House and Abbey. There is the Brabazon Restaurant selling a variety of food and drink at very reasonable prices and there is a gift shop selling a wonderful range at very reasonable prices. Overall this is an absolute first class and out of this world place to visit and also truly special place to visit and making for a thoroughly enjoyable and wonderfully memorable day out. Definitely well worth a visit whilst in the New Forest area.
