Beaulieu National Motor Museum Museums

Few car museums in the world can match the unique collection of the world renowned National Motor Museum at Beaulieu. Managed by the National Motor Museum Trust, Beaulieu is also the home of the world famous Beaulieu International Autojumble and Automart.

Whether your interest is as an individual, a motor enthusiast, or as a member of an interest group or educational party, when it comes to cars, motorbikes, commercial vehicles, motoring eccentricities and memorabilia, the National Motor Museum is firmly in the driving seat.

With the Collection now comprising some 250 vehicles - from some of the earliest examples of motoring to legendary World Record Breakers like Bluebird and Golden Arrow - you are sure to find something to fascinate you.

To celebrate Britain's outstanding achievements in motor racing in Grand Prix, at Le Mans and in rallying, a spectacular exhibition was opened in the Museum.

Mounted on sweeping steel structures, star exhibits in the Gallery include Britain's oldest complete racing car, the 1903 Napier, Michael Schumacher's 1994 World Championship Benetton, Damon Hill's 1996 World Championship Williams (not forgetting his father's 1967 Lotus 49) and the Vanwall which Stirling Moss drove to victory in 1958.

Celebrity and star cars go hand in hand and Beaulieu has bought together a fascinating collection of cars owned by the very famous, some cars that are famous in their own right and some that have achieved fame through appearing on the silver screen.

Current cars on show within the exhibition include cars owned by music legends such as Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Mark Knopfler. There are also cars once owned by or used by stars of the silver screen including Marlene Dietrich, Mr Bean's Mini and even Del Boy's Reliant. Cushtie!
