This place has got some good collection. But the cars have to be organized. Not a must go place but for those who love antique cars, it is good.

We stopped by the British Car Museum on a rainy day in Hawkes Bay and found an astonishing collection of classic British made automobiles, mostly from the 1930s to the late 20th century. What an impressive collection, something you'd expect to see as part of a worldly museum exhibition, not discovered in a roadside barn in the small community of Te Awanga, New Zealand. This is nothing short of a treasure. We greatly enjoyed the two hours we spent looking over old cars, of which there are hundreds on storage here. We very much enjoyed seeing the many old Vauxhauls, Austins, Morris' as well as the in tact Denis fire engine. The vehicles are all well labeled so it is easy to know what year, make and models you are looking at and there are many more to see than what we mentioned above. In addition to the incredible collection of historic vintage vehicles, you can also see old equipment, pianos, TV sets, model airplane set and other items of interest. As such, even if you are not a fan of old cars, there is easily enough to spark your interest for an hour or two at the British Car Museum. Overall, we very much enjoyed our time here and would gladly return to another look around. This is a great activity, especially on bad weather days when you are looking for something to do inside.

Awesome collection of rare vintage cars. 450 cars. I wish I could sit inside any car & feel the ride which is not allowed

Great museum with an excellent comprehensive collection. 10 entry, could spend a few hours here if you are a true British car enthusiast. Few old Ford's in the collection such as Escort and Cortina.

Fantastic place to spend a couple of hours on a rainy day. Brought back many happy memories from childhood. Very friendly proprietor, get him to crank up the old pianos, truly amazing.

Quaint is the key word. Worth a look if you are into cars. A huge private collection of some 500 British cars crammed into a large shed. The eccentric owner is harmless just make sure you keep an eye over your shoulder or he might accidentally knock you off your feet as he enjoys zooming around the narrow lanes on his mobility scooter.

Great experience to see so many normal British cars. Really are to many cars for the space but a nice nostalgia afternoon was had, with dad (me) telling my kids all about the cars of my youth.
