That looks a great little place for a wander around Saint. Thanks for posting this selection of photos. The Zephyr and Sid's Austin are the pick of the bunch for me Gene.

Great pictures Saint Not a fan of the older motors but the Imp is a favourite of mine since my uncle used to rally one back in the 70's.

Great selection of smudges there Saint, thanks for sharing them That early Mini Clubman in standard trim is a relative rarity these days, most of the early ones are now long gone or have been turned into 1275GT clones. Villain

Ah right, that probably accounts for its survival then, most likely kept in the family for a long while and passed down until it found a home in the museum. Villain

What a great little museum Simon, thanks for posting.
So much there that catches my eye:
The Suzuki GT185 is pretty tidy and looks near original, rare to see one of these now. The MZ behind it does nothing for me though. The old Puch Maxi was always a strange choice of moped but something about that I like too. The Zephyr, Herald, and the Imp all take me back. One of our neighbours had a Zephyr in red, another had a Herald in red and white, and my mother had an Imp in green - brilliant fun in the snow that was too! I like some of the signage too, those old enamel signs had a bit of style to them as does the rather primitive but effective hump back bridge sign.
Looks like I'll be paying a trip there sometime, we have some of Annie's family in the area so when visiting I may have to make my excuses.....
Sam.
