3) Looking for something a bit smaller? The Hammond Microcar Collection in Kent is a private collection of cars, mostly from the microcar’s heyday of the 1950s and 1960s. It’s a relatively small museum with only 40 cars, but if you’re a microcar fan then this is wonderful! If you want to see a very rare Opperman Stirling then they have one here, but if you want to visit you’ll have to watch out for their annual open day or call to arrange a private tour.

4) If you have the need for speed, the Donington Collection bills itself as the largest collection of F1 cars in the world. Over 130 racing cars are housed here, including some driven by Nigel Mansell, Alain Prost, and Jackie Stewart. It’s good news if you’re also into military vehicles – the museum is also home to the Wheatcroft Military Collection, paying tribute to Donington Park’s place in WWII history. 5) Fancy more than a day trip? The Petersen Automative Museum in Los Angeles is described as “100,000 square feet of car nirvana” and it’s not hard to see why. The building itself is stunning, but inside there lies 300 exhibitions from Elvis Presley’s 1971 De Tomaso Pantera to a rare 1948 Davis Divan, and everything in between. Top Gear magazine reckon it’s the world’s greatest car museum, so it must be good, right? 6) For a day out with a difference, how about a factory tour? Jaguar run regular tours of their factories at Solihull and Castle Bromwich in the West Midlands. If you want to see how they put together cars like the F-Type or the Jaguar XJ, then you can! You need to pre-book though as tours are limited with it being a working factory. You can find out more information at Jaguar factory tours. We’d love to hear about any car-themed days out that you have been on!
