Rover owner opens new car museum.
 

A former owner of Wembley Stadium has collected 120 British cars, all in running / show condition.

These are now in his new museum in Derby, to open this summer.

His own personal transport; an Austin 7, a Porsche and a Rover 75.

Might the 75 be his daily, the article didn't say, but quite possibly.

Regards

Mike

Can you point us to the article please Mike?

If I'm correct it's the museum that should have opened a couple of years ago :shrug:.

Looks like it now could be open by summer this year, an article from the local paper:-

Check out Hubnut on you tube. Ian has had a preview of the museum and some off the cars that will be heading there. He even has a drive of a nice Austin 1300 GT :drool4:

I can see many British car clubs wanting to use this venue for national meetings.
