The Cotswolds Motoring Museum.

Evening All,

Whilst on holiday in The Cotswolds last week, I came across the Cotswolds Motoring Museum at Bourton-on-the-Water. This is a real Aladdin's Cave of cars and motoring memorabilia and well worth a visit if in that area. Interestingly, when I was first taken to Bourton-on-the-Water I was still in short trousers and many of the exhibits in the museum were still in everyday use. Now they're museum pieces, so what does that say about me?! Some things, in fact, were still 20 years in the future!

Anyway, photography is encouraged, unlike in the Model Railway Exhibition across the road, so I took lots of pictures and the first few are now on Flickr. If anyone would like to see them, this is the first one in the Photostream :

D12576. 1933 Morris Minor. by Ron Fisher, on Flickr

They can also be found in this Album :

Hope that they are of interest.

 

Is Brum still there? I used to have to take the eldest son to see him every time we went anywhere nearby.

 

Yes; a bit hemmed in though. 'Scuse my igorance, but, apart from being a little car, what's Brum?

Thanks for the link. I was completely unaware of that. But then, it's a long time since I was kid. It was Muffin the Mule in my day!

 

I was about to ask if Brum was still Brum, Brum, Brunmming along!

 

I thought that was illegal ...

Not in the 1950s it wasn't!

 

I wish I still had my little 1925 Austin 7.

 

There are lots of cars that I've had in the past that I would love to have again today!

 

After a two year delay, I have now put the rest of my pictures from the Cotswolds Motoring Museum on Flickr. If anyone would like to see them, this is the link :

Hope they're still of interest.

 

I remember this TV-series. It was broadcasted at "the childrens- show" even here in Norway.
