Very well worth the visit, very friendly enthusiasts running the museum. The cars are very squashed in needs more space.
This is next to the Omaka Aviation museum and is a good add on but it is worth a separate trip if you have time. It is just a collection of cars relevant to New Zealand with plenty of classic British cars and lots of Fords and Holdens.
My husband took my 3 year old on a rainy afternoon when they both had cabin fever- I'm told it was a little disappointing from a car enthusiast's viewpoint, but the 3 year old loved it, he got to climb into and "drive" everything, so he was happy!
Visited here after our visit to the Aviation centre. Was unaware it existed.We loved it. So well organised and the man who greeted us was a delight! All the cars were amazing and they rekindled so many memories for us. We learnt to drive in a couple of the models and we hav owned quite a few of the others.A great place to visit!
I'm not a car person but found this most interesting. I like how they have newspaper articles about the owners above the vehicles.
Went to visit the Classic car Museum with my male enthusiast (me not being so enthusiastic) but I was pleasantly surprised that I very much enjoyed it. $10 per adult to get in - reasonable price and a wonderful greeting. Loved the cars on display and prompted lots of stories between myself and the Englishman of what we had done in the various cars in our younger years. I thought they were well set out and lots of newspaper articles and information on most of them. The Englishman was enthralled and absolutely loved it. Wheelchairs and buggies could get around the main walking area but not to everything. The Englishman had a great chat with the owner who was exceptionally knowledgable and he walked out beaming.it is next to the Omaka Aviation Museum so worth a double visit - nice coffee and cake and outdoor seating if its a lovely day which it usually is in Blenheim
Loved seeing all the classic cars, certainly well worth the visit. Very well set out and such a treat that the kids have free entry, they loved seeing them too.
Loved it, although it was quiet cold in the hangers where the displays are. Great for people into aeroplanes and history.
The cars on display are mostly from the 1960's onwards and have all been collected in New Zealand. Mostly British makes such as Jaguar, Ford, Morris, Rolls Royce etc. but all good to see in pristine condition after so many years. There is a small entrance fee that goes towards the upkeep of the cars.
The cars are so well preserved and presented, I have never seen so many cars of this vintage in such good condition.Well worth a visit if you remember cars from this era, just loved the mini!
