This is a small
friendly museum on two floors with a café and gift shop attached, staffed by
volunteers who, we were informed, also made the cakes and scones which we
sampled after our wander around.

| Inter Torpedo Autoscooter (France) |
As well as a
host of micro-cars, small capacity scooters, and motorcycles they also have
loads of motoring memorabilia and the glass cases mounted on the walls hold
collections of old toys, cameras, board games and the like.

| Garage forecourt with Lambretta & Watsonian Bambini sidecar |
 |
| Bond Bug memorabilia |
There were even
a couple of closet sized rooms laid out as a living-room and a kitchen from the
period between the wars.
The kitchen looked scarily like the one in the first
house I bought, even to some of the antiquated furnishings.
 |
| Heinkel Trojan (Germany) & Berkeley B105 (UK) |
While most of
the exhibits are lined up as you would expect, a number of them had been
included in period tableaus, which was a nice touch.
 |
| Bond Mk. C & Nutshell folding caravan (UK) |
There was also
an area which held vehicles yet to be restored, some of which were in a sorry
state indeed.
 |
| The Scrapyard |
Overall, it was
a pleasant way to spend an hour or so and, if you're ever in the vicinity, I'd
heartily recommend you make the effort to pay it a visit.
