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

If I'm correct it's the museum that should have opened a couple of years ago
 .Looks like it now could be open by summer this year, an article from the local paper:- https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/wha...museum-5168743 and the museum website:- https://www.greatbritishcarjourney.com/ Jim |

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

Looks to be well worth a visit. Especially as it’s practically just down the road from me.

If it was three for £49 l'd go for the wedge Princess, the DeLorean & the Austin 3 litre.
£150 though? Hmm...probably not. Three for £100? Yes, maybe.
