The Cotswold Motoring Museum is a museum located in the Cotswolds village of Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, England, which features motoring history of the 20th century.
History[]
The museum was founded in 1978 by car collector Mike Cavanagh. In 1999 Cavanagh sold it to the Civil Service Motoring Association, a not-for-profit organisation, who continue to run it.
Collection[]
The museum's collection includes cars, motorcycles, bicycles, caravans and motoring memorabilia of the twentieth century. The collection also includes the famous children's television star Brum, when he is not in use. The museum also features in the opening title sequence as Brum leaves the museum, where he is on display, and heads into the big town.
