Left - Austin Seven 1923 British One of the most significent British cars.

In just a few years the Austin Seven changed the face of British motoring and the fortunes of the Austin Motor Company. This car is a tourer or Chummy model. Engine: 747cc, 4 cylinder, Side valve, 10.5bhp at 2,400rpm Top Speed: 50mph Price new: £165 Manufacturer: The Austin Motor Co. Ltd Owner: Mr R.C.O. Harris

Right - Hillman Minx 'Magnificent' 1938 British The Minx was one of the most popular saloon cars of the 1930s and the most famous Hillman model. It was first introduced in 1932 and underwent several updates before the larger, more modern 'Minx Magnificent' was launched in August 1935. 10,000 of the new model were sold before the end of that year. This car features the new style of grille and opening boot lid first seen in mid 1937. Engine: 1,185cc, 4 cylinder, Side valve, 33bhp at 4,100rpm Top Speed: 59mph Price new: £169 Manufacturer: Hillman Motor Car Co. Ltd Owner: National Motor Museum Trust

Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
