Junction 12 Cafe in Stratford-on-Avon

Fantastic place really enjoyed it. Did not have time to see it all, so much to see, bought a yearly ticket so will be returning soon.

The Museum of Motorsport and Automotive History. Extremely nice staff, incredibly well-kept and great location. The vehicles on display are diverse and a journey through history. If I could give 10 stars...that's all I can do! Thank you 1000x for the love that is in here.

Amazing, clean, and well-kept facility with a wide array of British cars of all types and ages. If you have even the slightest interest in cars, then I highly recommend this museum to you. Also, reasonable prices and some of the friendliest and most well-informed staff I have ever encountered anywhere!

What a fabulous place! I visited with my Uncle, we were amazed at the variety and abundance of amazing and interesting cars. Loved the D Type and E Types plus the Aston Martins ! The volunteers really brought the place to life by telling us the most amazing stories many of which made us smile with sheer delight. What was especially nice was how proud I felt for our British Motor industry on what we have achieved over the years. Really enjoyed it and a bit of added value I can use my ticket again for free for another visit in a year. Well worth a visit.

The British Motor Museum, located in Gaydon, Warwickshire, is a must-visit destination for car enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Housing the world’s largest collection of historic British cars, the museum offers a fascinating journey through the evolution of British motoring. From classic marques like Jaguar, Mini, and Aston Martin to prototypes and rare models, the exhibits are beautifully curated and informative. The interactive displays and well-maintained vehicles cater to visitors of all ages, while the knowledgeable staff add depth to the experience. The museum also offers engaging workshops and activities for families. The café and gift shop complement the visit, making it a complete day out. Overall, the British Motor Museum is an excellent blend of history, engineering, and culture, showcasing Britain's rich automotive heritage.

Amazing experience and collection

First rate place with superb volunteer guides who give insights into the history of the exhibits

The museum has a well thought out placement of where the cars go - for example, there’s a road round the back of the museum called ‘Time road’ and there are some magnificent cars there going in order from earliest to latest It’s extremely easy to find your way around even without the map because there are giant board-like things on the ceiling with what collection is beneath. The cars are kept in amazing condition and most cars are out in the open with no barriers around them There was a section for: -Ford heritage collection -Design and concept cars -Jaguar (more from jaguar in the other building - the jaguar heritage trust) -Sports cars -Land Rover -Motorsport -Much much more (on the map) The staff there were so friendly and lovely and this guy told us a fun (and surprising!) fact about one of the cars (the big, long pink one) - he told us to get right down on the floor and look under the car, there was a registration plate on the bottom which meant that it was a real car and not a concept! The parking spaces are alright, there is a lot of spaces and decent room for your car to park Overall, I would highly recommend this museum too… anyone really! There’s a lot to learn about the cars themselves that’s very interesting or if you love cars then this is the place for you (the cars there are stunning, trust me)

Many, many vehicles, some presumably preserved as a warning from history. A large selection of Jaaaaaaags to be seen.

Brilliant experience, highly recommended

Amazing collection of classic cars highly recommended

Me and my boyfriend came across this place when travelling through Warwick so decided to stop off and it was so worth it! The collection of cars was incredible and we spent hours looking through them all. Also would like to say thank you to a lovely volunteer called Ian. He basically gave us our own tour and shared with us so many interesting facts about the cars. It was so lovely to see his passion for cars - he really made our experience. Thank you Ian 😊

An amazing collection of cars and stories about the British motor industry.

Decent collection of cars, worth a visit. Would recommend. There’s also the Jaguar and Land Rover building.

Wonderful collection of historic cars - other museums would have them all on pedestals, but here, there’s so many that there’s even an overflow storage area where some are just parked back to back ! Includes the first and last etype, the first landrover amongst many others. Also a great bunch of friendly staff who are willing to give some insight on the cars, should you ask them

Great day out. My son loved it, so much to look at :)

Fun, filled with old British relics

Great place for a petrol head like me. Not enough time today, I will return. Jaguar/ Daimler heritage centre on the same site, included in the ticket, is fantastic. Cafe in the main museum is very, very good. Visit on the first Saturday of the month, and you may see Jaguars of all ages and sizes in the car park as the Jaguar Breakfast Club meets up there (unless an alternative site has been arranged)

Today the Pride of the British Motor Industry is......German,owners of Rolls Royce,MINI,and in the near future JLR,for the complete collection!German quality,and PRIDE,absolutely unbeatable,could the museum be moved to Munich,says it all really.

Only wanted to go in the cafe, but was told we needed to buy tickets so left.

The best motor museum I have been to.

How could anyone not like this place! We didn’t know it existed until we drove by a sign on the motorway and decided to stop in. It was absolutely amazing to see all the cool cars and concept cars. What a treat!

Great place with charming staff the fod and drinks are good too 😊 Eat there you won’t regret it - pleas don’t forget to say thank you they deserve it

What a fantastic place, really enjoyed it

Great place, loads of cars, can easily spend half a day there

Lovely day out with lots to see

The ticket price is £20 but it is totally worth it. The collection is huge, including not only concept cars and prototypes, but also production cars and cars in use. The area is also perfect for families with a play area outside.

One of my favourite car museums that I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot of car museums all over the world. A must see for any enthusiast of British cars!

A fantastic venue for any car enthusiast.

Very sad when there is an event outside you're not able to get a cup of coffee without paying entrance fee. Been inside several times so I just wanted a coffee while being at the PUPFest (Mini pick-up event) 27 July 2024 with my Mini pick-up. There would be 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ if I was able to get my coffee 🤣

Very good. A must if you are interested in motor history. Very good for private functions as well.

If you love cars this is the place! More British cars than you can possibly imagine and the Jaguar collection is fabulous. The guides were very helpful

What a place, a must for any petrol head.

I recently visited the British Motor Museum, and I was absolutely delighted with the experience! The collection of classic and historic cars is truly impressive, showcasing the rich history of British motoring. The exhibits are well-organized and provide fascinating details about each vehicle. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to answer any questions. The museum is a must-visit for car enthusiasts and anyone interested in automotive history. I left feeling inspired and thoroughly satisfied. Thank you for a wonderful experience – I highly recommend this place!

Incredible resource and amazing exhibits and very friendly and helpful staff

Fabulous museum, everyone there was helpful and friendly. Spotlessly clean, including the toilets. Virtually no barriers so you could really look around the cars, no touching understandably, and appreciate them. Well organised, good cafe, nice food, small gift shop. Really enjoyed our time here. Will come back.

Took my Grandchildren here during October half term, they were really interested in looking at all the cars which they have a vast collection of from all eras, and all manafactures, which have all been loving restored. Would definitely recommend for young and old alike.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the British motor museum. I'm not necessarily a fan of British built cars however the history and quality of the displays was outstanding. I loved it. Plus I spoke to a number of the guides who were very well informed and extremely friendly. For anybody interested in cars of any type/brand, this is something you must do. I will definitely be going back!! Only downside is the very basic restaurant on site - consider eating elsewhere.

Very big museum very good wheelchair access friendly staff

Excellent day out with the family loads to see amazing car collection from the british history, would definitely recommend to others and will definitely be returning in the future!.

I was a vendor at a show being held there.

Great museum, and the Jaguar heritage centre 😍

A great day out if you like cars. Nice coffee shop..great staff.

Well worth a visit lots of vehicles would recommend a visit 😀

Absolutely loved this museum and can not wait to visit again.

Excellent venue, brilliant selection of vehicles and spectacular cafe.

Huge collections of british cars, including some rere concept cars. A must visit!

Please let Helna from the Cafe Staff know that she did an amazing job serving me food. Also her recommendation of a great Indian Restaurant in Coventry (Tiffin Box) was amazing for dinner. I will have to come back to thank her in person. Mr. Jeffrey Stark

Brought grandson here on his INSET day. It's over an hour's journey but well worth it, we'll definitely be back & he'll be bringing his mum & dad next time. Such a lot to see. I liked the way social history of the factories & wartime activities were presented. Someone who isn't a car buff can find plenty to interest them. The volunteers were great, so knowledgeable & explained things to 6 yr old (who is a car enthusiast) in an age appropriate way without being patronising. My husband (engineer & racing enthusiast) was in his element chatting to volunteers. A great day out with annual membership making it good value.

Went to the British Motor Museum Oct 30. Had an excellent tour by volunteer Roger. He not only told us all about the cars in the museum, he was kind enough to show us his own car. Lots of Jaguars, Land Rovers and MGs. Super interesting even if you are not an expert. Ate lunch in the onsite cafe. Food was good and reasonably priced. Lunch was £10-15. We rode the train and bus from London which was an adventure for us.

Not bad, but should be called 'the Birmingham motor museum' - there's hardly anything built outside the west Midlands on show. As Rolls Royce, Bentley, TVR etc are also British, this makes the museum look pretty biased.

Excellent museum and very informative.

Loved it! Staff friendly and passionate, but have a sense of humor!

Great place to visit loads to see, we had a guided tour around the Jaguar collection the guide accompanied by his black Labrador was extremely informative and interesting. Couldn't recommend it enough, brilliant!

Excellent museum for car lovers!

Ample parking and excellent site. State of the art toilets. Great displays and explanations. I would say that the 65 PB Cresta model would probably have had the 3.3 engine and not the earlier 2.6. We had one! Others could confirm this???. All beautiful cars.

Wow and wow again. If you like cars this is for you, if you don't like cars - go here and you soon will.

Stopped by on my way back from a weekend in Birmingham by simply seeing the sign on the motorway! So glad I did. I was amazed by the selection of vehicles on display, particularly the cars from the 1980’s. It was amazing to read about and see up close iconic first and last cars off the productive line including the Mini, the Metro and the Montego. Monday was a perfect day to go as I can imagine this place gets busy at the weekends. I also had a guided free 45 minute tour with Trevor who clearly knew his stuff and it was very enjoyable. The cafe food was also excellent and the staff were very pleasant. Highly recommended. 🚘

Of all the many car collections, motor museums or automotive things I've gone to over the decades, this is one of the absolute best I've gone to. Really nicely laid out, super accessible and lovely in the main building, and just so many cars in the newer secondary building. There's whole specific exhibits for motorsport, prototypes, TV cars and then whole rooms dedicated to Jaguars and Vauxhalls. If you love cars, this place will blow you away, and there's also so many volunteers who will give you in-depth special views of things on the cars if you're interested. Just a wonderful day out for a motor head.

First rate place with superb volunteer guides who give insights into the history of the exhibits. Pleasant cafe with a reasonably priced menu. Definitely worth a visit. Book online for reduced entry fee which covers unlimited visits for a year.

Really enjoyed our day out with my nephew.

Best private dinners with the best staff

Great day out, large array of British cars, fantastic for a car fanatic

Lovely experience, the place is full of history. Beautiful cars.

Launch of the new Vauxhall Grandland

A museum on the scale of the history of the English automobile! Very large, spread over two buildings side by side, this museum brings together the vast majority of brands and models which have made the history and reputation of the English automobile industry. A must-have for those who love beautiful mechanics 👍. I would add that the staff, very welcoming, are always ready to help. A must!

Great place to visit and do much to see, be prepared to walk a long way. Lifts provided for people with disabilities. Our visit brought back some wonderful memories for us, highly recommended 😁

If you love anything to do with cars/motorbikes this is worth a visit. Lots to look at and interact with. Almost all the vehicles are BL, Vauxhall, and Jaguar Land Rover. There is a cafe and plenty of restrooms.

The museum's extensive car collection is impressive, but it truly shines with its child-friendly activities; from mini cars for toddlers, to interactive challenges, drawing with car-headlight building, and a captivating science show, there's something for every kid. Thanks to my annual pass, I'll return to explore the car collection in more detail.

Good day out, lots to see, worth trying to catch the tour, very interesting.

Good pieces. A place to visit if you like cars.

Great few hours in a well presented museum. Lots to do and see. Some very nice vehicles displayed.

I attended an event here. Good facilities at the venue plenty of

Fantastic range of car, good information about the cars. We went during October half term and they had a free science activity workshop for the children. Good cafe offering gluten free food and reasonably priced. Well worth a visit, will return. Staff friendly too

Having been to Beaulieu and the Haynes museum I thought that another motor museum might not have much to offer but this one added yet another variety of interesting vehicles to look at.

Very interesting place, really well maintained and great facilities.

A very interesting & enjoyable trip

Amazing place for car lovers. All the power of the British car industry in one place.

Absolutely love it, nice to see different age cars and history of different brands.

Can you believe at a motor museum you cannot charge your vehicle?

Superb. Better than another Motor museum in the new forest we visited this year

Free for CV LIFE Card holders. Good educational walk for kids

Good to see a wide variety of old and modern cars. I really enjoyed seeing all the old important Jags, especially the XJ220. Had the added bonus of having a model railway exhibition on when I visited.

I want for their Model Railway Weekend which was fabulous, but all the cars and vehicles were there and if you are interested in Cars it is great

Went here for the Vauxhall grandland launch, while there visited the museum, many cars there you forgot about, and some you didn't even know about, worth a visit.

Fantastic museum with a lot of really interesting and rare/unique cars. Also there was a classic car meet/show in the evening.

One day is not enough to see all vehicles they have.

A surprisingly large and interesting collection of mostly British vehicles. Well worth spending a couple of hours here

Excellent experience, many more exhibits and breadth of that content than expected

Great selection of british cars and history

Absolutely brilliant 👏 very interesting 👍 the vehicles are amazing 👏 😀

Amazing collection of cars with some unique prototype models and end of production cars too.

Pulled in to get help with my sat nav as I was lost.

Interesting for different ages, lots of cars to see from through the ages. Our son was probably a bit too young however he did enjoy the little push along car he could sit in (for a short while until he wanted to run off) and the photo ops.

Fantastic place even better now with extra Jag and Warehouse ( upstairs) building.

A great collection of British motoring, a tour was included and provided good information. Cafe was nice, providing very fresh food and a gluten free menu was available. Parking was good and easy. Communication was quick and friendly, meaning we were able to reserve a wheelchair prior to our visit. Would recommend visiting, especially those into cars and motoring

Great venue to visit with lots of interesting cars and prototypes that never went into production also many examples of how they are built and how engines work.

Wow what a great collection, even my wife enjoyed here! Seriously this is a fantastic museum and I need to return to be able to take it in .well worth a visit

Well worth a visit. We were a little rushed today but having an annual pass means we can return and take our time. Good range of cars and knowledgeable staff.

Fantastic place 400 plus cars lots of jags and some ex royal cars there
