Description

Left - Austin Seven (Mini) 1959 British Originally launched in 1959 as the Austin Seven and the Morris Mini-Minor, but known to millions simply as the Mini. The British Motor Corporation's new small front-engine, front wheel drive car was destined to become a classic. Production of the original Mini continued until 2000 by which time over 5 million had been built; the best selling British car ever. This October 1959 car is one of the oldest in existence. Engine: 848cc, 4 cylinder, overhead valve, 34bhp at 5,500rpm Top Speed: 70mph Price new: £537 Manufacturer: The Austin Motor Company Limited Owner: National Motor Museum Trust

Right - Triumph Herald 1960 British Introduced in 1959, the Triumph Herald was a big contrast to the old Standard Ten that is was designed to replace. The radical design incorporated a separate chassis with bodywork styled by Michelotti of Italy. Bolt-on body panels allowed a whole range of alternative models to be produced relatively cheaply. The Herald had a tiny turning circle of 25 feet whilst the independent rear suspension produced handling that was praised by some and feared by others. Engine: 948cc, 4 cylinder, overhead valve, 34.5bhp at 4,500rpm Top Speed: 71mph Price new: £702 Manufacturer: The Standard-Triumph Group Owner: National Motor Museum Trust

Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
