Franschhoek Motor Museum

The Franschhoek Motor Museum offers visitors the opportunity to view more than 100 years of motoring history.

Situated on the beautiful L'Ormarins Estate, one can view an unique collection of vehicles, motorcycles and other memorabilia.

(my favourite)

The collection exceeds 220 vehicles - from the 1898 Beeston Motor Tricycle to a 2003 Ferrari Enzo supercar.

Exhibits are rotated regulary and at any time, at least 80 vehicles will be on display in four de-humidified halls.

Displays are presented in a chronological order:

  • Antique - pre 1905
  • Veteran - 1905 to 1918
  • Vintage - 1919 to 1945
  • Post 45 - 1946 to 1960
  • Post 60 - 1961 to present

Redakteur se opmerkings:
Is die museum regtig die moeite werd om te besoek?
Ja beslis. Veral as jy net 'n effense waardering vir en /of belangstelling in motors het.

Onthou dis 220 plus motors waarvan jy ongeveer 80 op 'n slag sien. Die uitstallings word gereeld geroteer, so jy nie sien nie met elke besoek dieselfde motors nie.

Die toegangsgeld gaan niemand ook ryk maak nie. Veral as jy sien hoeveel moeite word met die instandhouding van nie net die motors nie, maar ook die uitstallokale gedoen.

Hierdie motormuseum kry 'n entoesiastiese "ja gaan maak 'n draai" by my!
