Wonderful exhibition of British Cars. All cars in good condition. Very clever hand held laptop / audio player loaded with masses of data and stories issued for free on entry, enabling you to investigate in depth any particular car that you are specifically interested in. Older visitors will enjoy seeing again cars that they once owned. Good Cafe for teas, coffees and light meals. Thoroughly enjoyed the day and will definitely visit again.

If you’re interested in cars than this is very very good. Very friendly staff. Clean toilets. Excellent audio guide. Extensive range of cars all beautifully maintained, restored and cared for. Large cafe and shop on site, was closed when we were there sadly. Looks like a good range of British car themed gifts to buy.

Nice to see a different way of showing cars with an audio tour and lots of info about the cars. It takes you through the ages of British cars ( as you might guess from the name ). I enjoyed it and the cafe food was really good. I’m not sure that this place would appeal to children so much and I did feel that the entry price was expensive for the time we spent in there. I suppose you could spend longer but it depends how deeply you are into the history of British cars. They do also have a thing called Drive dads car, which I really wanted to do but it seems it’s only certain days which didn’t fit in with our holiday.

Fantastic museum for those of a certain age that remember these fantastic or dire, in some cases, British cars. Laid out in a way that puts you on a journey through time. The audio visual guide is one of the best I’ve experienced where on some cars there is an audio story and all cars have a visual fact sheet. Lots more information available as well. The cafe could not cope with about 15 lunch orders on a grey October Tuesday with very slow service and my food was inadequately heated through. Coffee however is very good.

A brilliant car museum. Truly takes you down memory lane. Saw cars that my parents had when I was a child plus a car like my driving school Allegro and many cars I have owned over the years. Very recommended. Plus a good coffee and cake in the cafe.

Nothing wrong with a good old bit of nostalgia, a pleasing blast from the past and quite a few cars I've not seen or heard of in quite some time. Really enjoyed my time here, the way its set up and the use of QR codes to give all that are interested a little more insight to the car and history of it is brilliant. Thoroughly enjoyable and well worth a visit.

This is a fantastic place to visit. We took some friends who are staying in the area and we had a excellent time. We were provided with interactive devices which told the story of the cars and had a scan facility which gave information on individual vehicles. So many beautiful examples of vintage vehicles bringing back memories of yesteryear.

Great walk through of the history of British Motoring, showcasing many now-defunct brands and models. Well laid out; the interactive audio guide provides great background to many of the exhibits and the commentaries put the stories of the cars into context. QR code scanner facility enables one to pull up individual stories on the cars to provide insight into their history. The museum is run by very friendly and enthusiastic staff, who are willing to take the time to discuss various aspects of the exhibits with you. There is also the opportunity to "drive your Dad's car" or a selection of other classic vehicles. Gift vouchers can be purchased on site with a discount - the ideal gift for Christmas or Father's Day. In addition there is a nice clean cafe serving a good choice of hot & cold food and drinks. Well recommended.

Probably the best car museum I’ve been to. The selection of vehicles is great, they are well laid out and the information provided on the tablet for the self-guided tour is fascinating. The best bit though is ‘Drive Dad’s Car’. We went from a Reliant Robin to a Jaguar XJS, the course around the factory complex is good - like a 70’s cop show and the duration better than I expected- probably around 10 minutes per vehicle. I’m going to keep going and work through the fleet.

Absolutely fantastic, took father in law and wife's grandad. They both loved it. One in his mid 70's and one in his late 80's so lots of stories of the cars they once owned. The museum offers you headphones that inform you about the cars and some of the special history about them, I decided to take mine back to listen to their stories instead. The museum ( and the car smells)brought back so many happy memories,.it was wonderful to hear them all. Returning soon to take my own father. Cafe was well priced and staff was friendly. Would like a yearly pass as I found we ran out of time. Well done for getting this off the ground in such a tough year. Hats off to you gentle men.

I was gifted a driving experience and drove the Austin 7 and the Grenada. Two very different cars, but overall a great experience! Then toured the exhibition, which offered a great selection of cars covering the whole history of the British motor industry - many quite everyday, others less so - and was very informative as well as nostalgic.

I am retired now, but I spent 54 years a motor engineer working on mostly British cars. Coming here today took me back right to when I was an apprentice. The early 70's was bad when the factories went on strike every 10 minutes. That was the start of the killing off of the car industry in this country. Having said this, this museum is excellent, and with it just being British made it even more enjoyable. Also all the old garage signs were good too. I will come back.

Very nostalgic, especially to those in the generation of the 1960s 70s and 80s. Provoked lots of stories in our group. Interesting electronic audio guide available. They could do with a brown tourist attraction sign to help with navigation from the motorway.. or did I miss it. Great canteen adjoining the river.

Very interesting well run classic car display with drives available on many models. Café offers good quality affordable meals, excellent fresh ground coffee and scones with cream and jam too. First rate!

This is a fantastic place to visit for anyone who is remotely interested in cars. The audio guide gives an excellent insight into each exhibit and in many cases there is a story about the history of the car and some details of documented sales, etc. Unlike other car museums you can get close to the cars to have a proper look at the interior. My son had been before and he said it was completely different this time with many of the cars swapped with the 60+ additional cars they have stored in a separate building on site. The drive dad's car facility is great, I chose to drive the Austin A30 which is even older than me. Overall I would highly recommend a visit and if I lived closer I would definitely buy an annual pass or even volunteer to work at the museum.

Lots of cars from different years. Was nice to see a Delorean and some cars I had when I was younger with the opportunity to drive one of them. We was in and out really quick (90min) despite taking our time and reading lots of information about the cars.

Fantastic. This venue (I won't use the word 'museum' because that sounds stuffy and boring) really does take you on a JOURNEY. There is a good selection of cars at GBCJ all in good order, but they're ORDINARY cars, apart from the massive Daimler, the Vanden Plas, the Rolls-Royce, the Jensen ... Well, okay, there are some prestigious cars but no Ferraris or Americans. Just the sort of cars you would have seen on YOUR streets in the 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. Follow the guided route around the building and it takes you through British car history, mostly post World War Two. I really like the way the cars are often displayed along with giant posters from the era or topical pictures to give context to the cars and set the scene for the time of that car. Remember that every car is a product of the socio-economic scene at that time; before you laugh at a strange car, be aware of why they thought it would be a good idea. You are given a personal audio guide but this is the best I have ever come across. Not only do you get a spoken introduction to each section of the museum, but you can use the device to scan bar codes and get an information table telling you about a specific vehicle. Some of these individual tables also have a spoken commentary about the exact car that you see before you. GBCJ has been incredibly well thought out, it is well organised, has been styled very well, and they are nice people. Not stuffy at all. But if you want stuffing, go to the Filling Station, which is the on-site cafe of GBCJ where snacks and light refreshments are inexpensive and delicious. I am only allowed to give 5 stars, but my journey through GBCJ earns SIX in my view

What a very enjoyable visit. On arrival I was greeted and informed the best way to enjoy the experience by using the very good video system on a personal headset making it a sure way not to miss out on anything. I took My time and really appreciated the full value of the whole experience that really did bring back lost memories of my fifty years of driving experiences. Many thanks for the opportunity to absorb the collection and a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours.

Absolutely Fabulous. Great layout, Hi Tech ipad style info pad to give visual and audio guide of all the exhibits. Being a child of the 1950's and car obsessed from the age of 4, I could name 99% of the cars. Loved the fact that I could get up close to most of the cars and see them from all angles. I loved the fact that they are not all pristine restorations. Lots of them are survivors that have lived a life up to now. I did not sample the cafe. But I will next time I go.

Great place, packed with historic and more mundane examples of British Motoring history, well organised and curated, and the accompanying audio/visual capability brings it to life. The carpark is also often used by car clubs, the day we went there were Nash Metropolitans and Triumph Stags to see. Another feature is the ability to actually drive old cars "drive your Dad's car" (at extra cost) which sounded fun

As museums go, this is a good one. I really liked the interactive digital pads given so you can choose what to listen and learn about. The cafe with hot food was also good. Very quiet atmosphere as everyone was wearing headphones. (I swear the Rover 200 used to belong to me! The smell of it brought back memories!)

Went there for the viking takeover day. Great atmosphere, wide selection of British classic cars. Not too many people, so enough space to explore at your own pace. Audio-visual guide very thorough

A great place to visit if you like old British cars and if you remember them it's very nostalgic. You have your very own self-guided tour using headphones and a viewing screen and you can delve deeply into facts about the cars or you can skip through quickly if you only want basic information. You can even book (at extra cost) to drive some of the cars - this is best done before your visit as it only happens on certain days.

A bit understated from the road. An absolute must for all petrol heads over 50. A bit expensive but I look at it as a donation to keeping the cars running. I fancied the offer of driving a couple of cars for £120.00 but not around the site. Had it been on the road I would have grabbed the chance.

Excellent so much to see and the interactive scan sections is so full of information. Only wished we lived near by as we would be signed up for year pass instead of day visit. Great value and lots to see. Also there's a great cafe on site. Great lunch and fantastic friendly staff

Great morning out. Audio guide provided, cars laid out in a logical order. Very interesting collection. On site cafe. Recommend a visit if your in the area

What a great place! A nice and growing collection of cars arranged roughly chronologically. Included audio tour with QR code access to more information if you wish. Well laid out, very friendly and knowledgeable staff, plus good parking / access and good inside facilities (loos and cafe). Didn't try the "drive your dad's car" option, but would like to. On the same site, local brewery and distillery (didn't visit, but will do next time). Well worth popping in or even travelling a bit to get there.

I have been multiple times since it opened and every time there is something new and different. Very interesting background stories from the interactive electronic tour guide device provided on entry and you can go round at your own pace - listen to as much or as little as you like. The cafe is a great place to have some nice coffee and cake while reflecting on all the cars with your party at the end of the tour (and has some great memorabilia and quality souvenirs) The staff are very friendly and helpful too. A great family day out if you have a generation or 2 in your group - many of the cars have interesting celebrity and movie connections - it's not just for pure car enthusiasts. I took my Mum and she said she found it fascinating. Would recommend and will return again

Visited for a birthday treat. It's a fantastic place. Very interesting audio tour, cafe is extremely good value. The drive dad's car experience is fun and the instructor was very informative and professional. A fantastic day out.

Great place to visit well worth seeing, lots of cars to prompt a trip down memory lane. Lots of info available on each car you could spend as much time as you want there. Nice cafe area with a good selection of food on the menu very clean. Totally recommend a visit well worth the admission price.👍

I bought tickets for this museum for my husband's birthday treat. I was expecting to just be tagging along with something he was interested in but I actually really enjoyed it. You are given a pod with an audio tour explaining some history of each era and pointing out interesting facts. You can also scan the qr codes of the cars to find out more information. We had a great time, spending around 4 hours walking around and we also visited the coffee shop for a snack. It was an extremely hot day and there is not much ventilation but we managed. My only suggestion would be a few more chairs in each section. Luckily, both having bad knees, we managed to find a seat so we could relax and listen to each introduction but at busier times we might have struggled. It was great seeing all the different eras of cars, a lot of which I remembered from my youth.

Excellent for car lovers. Good selection and more in hidden storage hopefully to be displayed in the future. Cafe good fresh food except tea should be in a pot not a cup please. Perhaps more info on cars for those not wanting to wear earphones would be good , still excellent venue.

Great day out looking at some of the cars of old that used to be common on eve streets when we were younger. Some classics that we all yearned for back in the day. Well worth a visit, an audio guide is included in the ticket price and the cafe is reasonably priced and serves food and drinks. Well recommended

Fantastic place, a great selection of cars and the audio guide was very informative and easy to use, really friendly people and the cafe was fab, will definatly be visiting again in the future 👍!

Really enjoyed my visit. Good value for money. Friendly staff. Personally I didnt like the electronic guide with head phones. Seems anti social if you're with a friend. I'd have liked to see a description on a board with each car. But a really nicely presented show of cars. Well done.

Wonderful place! Great staff, so helpful, professional and great to talk with. Museum is packed full of interesting cars! Dad really enjoyed driving their Morris Minor convertible!

Went on my birthday.. Great day out bought back some memories. Richard was a pleasure to have met. Showed me round and told me about some of the beautiful cars there. He knows his stuff.

Had a very enjoyable couple of hours here. Cars very well presented with first class audio tour which had lots of interesting detail and facts about the cars. Facilities are brand new and very well presented. Highly recommended.

An amazing selection of beautiful vehicles through the ages with excellent audio information. So different from other motor museums with the inclusion of cars throughout each decade so memories for me from cars we had in the 70s and 80s. Definitely recommend including drive experience as part of the visit and would make a great gift for a special occasion.

Great museum/exhibition, had to skip the interactive tour as we had a 4.5 year old to supervise (she still loved it) We will be back with more time and a plan to have a go in a few cars as well! Can't wait. Thanks!

Went with the family. Pleasantly surprised with how good it was. Interactive head phones and mini tablets with QR scanners for each car. Bit of nostalgia if you where alive in the 1970-1900’s Cafe a bit 7/10 with speed of service but options pretty good. Would recommend for a half day outing.

Great venue that’s not that well sign posted in advance but plenty of parking when you get there. Eclectic mix showing 100 years of English cars from the beginning to a fine McLaren all on display under one large roof. Very helpful and interesting audio interactive tool given to guide and educate you around the display. Small cafeteria on site though staff seemed to be undergoing training at the time
